Larry’s Lair (47)

Larry’s Lair on Klein Bonaire gives you a real feel for the island’s quieter side. We love dropping in on the sandy patch first, letting the sun warm our backs as we float over the ripples. That flat stretch of sand, maybe 10 metres across, always seems to hold something unexpected – a Chain Moray peering out, or a Spinyhead Blenny doing its bobbing dance. Then the reef wall just drops away. It's not a dramatic sheer cliff, but a gently sloping wall, a deep blue fade into the distance. We often find ourselves drifting with a gentle current, spotting Boulder Brain Corals bigger than armchairs, and keeping an eye out for the Tiger Grouper that sometimes lurks in the overhangs. The maximum depth of 21 metres makes it a comfortable multi-level dive. We’d suggest going early; the light on the sand before the wall is just beautiful then, really highlighting the texture of the Shoalgrass. It's a peaceful dive, ideal for those who enjoy taking their time and searching for the smaller, less common residents like the Shark nose goby.
