West-coast wall dive with a long sandy approach
West-coast wall dive with a long sandy approach
Larry’s Lair (47) is a west-coast Bonaire wall site with a flat sandy lead-in, a longer crossing to the reef, and a deeper second wall that rewards careful line choice and buoyancy control. It works best for experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with compass navigation, conservative gas planning, and timing the dive for steady conditions.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
28m - 45m
Depth Note
The site is described as a flat sand approach into a wall, with a deeper second wall starting around 28 m and a broader site depth cited up to about 45 m.
Best Season
Year-round; calmer seas usually make the site easier to enjoy.
Typical Conditions
Flat sandy approach, wall terrain, moderate visibility, and current that can strengthen on the deeper section.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Best suited to experienced divers because the main action sits beyond the sandy lead-in and the deeper wall can demand careful navigation and gas management.
Access Restrictions
Carry the required Bonaire marine park access tag and follow local entry guidance.
Legal Notes
Follow Bonaire National Marine Park rules and local dive-site guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a conservative shore scuba dive: the sand lead-in and wall profile reward buoyancy control and compass discipline.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the most interesting structure sits too deep for casual breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Not a strong snorkel pick because the main wall sits deeper than the shallow sand approach.
