Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Hilma Hooker

A very popular dive site, The Hilma Hooker, is a must-do dive. The 70 meter cargo ship was purposely sunk on this location back in 1984. It's a fascinating dive, if you've never had the opportunity to explore a vessel this size before. At a depth of 20 to 35 meters, you'll need to watch your air, depth and time carefully. 150 m North of the Trans World Radio entrance (South of the Airport).

This was my first dive after my PADI course. We set out with two very experienced divers. Due to my 18 meter limit, I only had a top view of the Hilma Hooker, which is very impressive, lurking in the depth (starting at 17 meters). There was some current, which made the return to shore somewhat lengthy. Spotted lots of different wildlife: turtles, eels, parrot fish, angel fish etc.
