Why dive here
With 232+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Laramar offers some of Sosua & Puerto Plata's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Laramar sits off Sosua, and we find it's a solid drift dive when the currents are running. Expect a gently sloping sandy bottom giving way to a low reef structure where we often spot scorpionfish tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for the elusive lancer stargazer poking its head from the sand. It’s a good option for divers looking for a relaxed dive with interesting macro life.
