Larry's Lair has a bottom unlike the rest of the south coast: broad sand channels running between large coral heads. Rays rest in those channels and turtles come to rest. The dive is calm as long as the current cooperates.
Larry's Lair is an advanced shore dive on the south coast: sand channels between coral heads at eight to twelve metres and a slope to thirty-eight metres.
Sand channels at eight to twelve metres between coral heads a few metres high, with sponges and sea fans around them. Deeper, the slope drops to thirty-eight metres. Stingrays on the sand, turtles among the heads and tarpon in the blue.
In light to moderate current, in the morning when the sand has not yet stirred up. The channels are then clearest to follow.
In current and stirred-up sand you lose your bearings among the heads. The slope drops away deep fast. Parking on the verge, no shade, no water, no toilet.
Decisions on diveability, technique and health belong with STINAPA, a dive school or a doctor. This page only describes the conditions.
The coral heads with sand channels between them are remnants of an older reef structure cut by current. They occur more often along the south coast, but nowhere as pronounced as here.
