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).

My wife and I enjoyed this site so much that we dived it 6 times in 12 days. I would suggest that you swim over to the middle buoy which makes the edge of the reef at about the middle of the ship. Then you can submerge and dive the reef swimming toward the ship. I enjoyed seeing the ship appear out of nowhere, it was just amazing. I would like to suggest that you take your time diving this site and you will need at least three dives to enjoy the ship properly. At the end of the dive a fun way to decompress is to slowly swim back to the shore, do however save some film for the swim back. We spotted an octopus and lots of interesting fish on the way back.
