One of the most spectacular natural events on Bonaire is the spawning of corals, when the reefs release millions of eggs and sperm into the water. On Bonaire theis phenomenon brings a  group of divers down to personally witness this spawning. This year it is predicted that the majority of species will spawn in either September or October, or both months.

Spawning is always tied to the full moon, usually occurring three to nine days after the full moon in each of these two months. The full prediction schedule for 2010 is available on the website of the Bonaire Marine Park.

Below you can watch three spawning video’s.
