    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Lac Bay on Bonaire’s east side offers something a bit different for divers. We’ve found the shallows are excellent for calm, easy dives, often with turtles browsing the seagrass. It’s a gentle introduction for newer divers or a relaxing second dive for anyone keen on macro life, with plenty of small critters hidden among the soft corals. The entry can be a little silty, but visibility usually clears up quickly once you’re finning.
