This dive site, Larry’s Lair (47), begins with a flat expanse of sand before transitioning into a vibrant wall that extends for approximately 30 meters. Divers can initially explore the shallower reef, or for those with more experience, cross the sandy area to reach a second, deeper wall starting around 28 meters. While no specific historical details are provided, it is a well-known shore dive site along Bonaire's western coast.
The site boasts a rich variety of marine life typical of Bonairean coral reefs, including diverse hard and soft corals adorning the walls. The sandy bottom also hosts unique life, offering opportunities to spot various invertebrates and bottom-dwelling fish. Expect to encounter numerous reef fish such as parrotfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, and surgeonfish, alongside moray eels, lobsters, and crabs.
Larry's Lair is suitable for diving year-round, with Bonaire offering consistently good conditions. The site's average depth of 10 meters and maximum depth of 21 meters make it ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers. Snorkelers can also enjoy the shallower areas near the initial sandy stretch. For the best experience, divers are advised to pay attention to their depth, especially when exploring the deeper wall section recommended for experienced individuals.
