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).

Too many divers go right to the wreck and ignore the reefs around the boat or even the relatively shallow hull around 60 feet. I have found some excellent and cooperative shrimp and other photo subjects on the hull. The Hooker itself requires a wide-angle lens -- either 15mm or 20mm -- and I recommend a shot from the sand looking up to the bow with the sun in the background. Keep in mind that will put you at about 120 feet. This is a very popular dive site, so go very early in the morning or expect to have company.
