East-coast access, facilities, and visitation context.
East-coast Bonaire reef with tarpon, turtles, and rays.
East-coast Bonaire reef with tarpon, turtles, and rays.
East-coast access and weather windows are best handled by a Bonaire operator familiar with Lac Bay.
White Hole (62) is an east-coast Bonaire dive site off Lac Bay with a white sand plateau, reef structure, and a more exposed feel than the island's sheltered west-coast reefs. It is best for divers who want tarpon schools, turtles, rays, barracuda, and other bigger-water wildlife rather than an easy sand-bottom swim. Plan it as a local guide dive where the weather window, buoyancy, and the day's water read matter.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Best Season
Year-round in calm east-coast weather windows; the site is best when Lac Bay is settled.
Typical Conditions
Windward Bonaire reef with a white sand plateau, reef edge, and a more exposed feel than the west coast. Current, surge, and the weather window matter more here than at sheltered sites.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Use a guide, pick a calm day, and treat the site as an east-coast exposure rather than a casual west-coast swim.
Access Restrictions
East-coast access is weather sensitive and local knowledge matters.
Legal Notes
Plan under Bonaire Nature Tag and marine park rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for experienced divers who are comfortable with a guide and a more exposed east-coast Bonaire profile.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the exposure and changing conditions make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling only makes sense in the calmest shallow margins; the main site is for scuba.
