Sex on the Reef, at Dive Friends Bonaire

September and October are months that coral spawning is expected. Coral spawning, or the cultivation of the corals, is something unique.

In the period to come, the yearly “coral spawning” will take place. Coral spawning is the phenomenon whereby several coral species (but also other organisms) release their gonadal secretions into the water column at the same time under the influence of environmental circumstances such as water temperature and a very special position of the moon.

You have to be lucky to witness this event, but there is a schedule with forecasted dates for the 2007 coral spawning event (click here to view in PDF format).

For any dates when coral spawning is predicted, Dive Friends Bonaire is organizing special night dives for their guests to see the phenomenon. This night dive is $30.00 per person (excluding equipment and air) with a minimum of four persons.
