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 site was really nice to dive, but, with all the areas to poke around in, it was very easy to slip below 60 feet if this is a concern. After a short surface swim from shore we were greeted by a large barracuda 'guarding' the forward marker float. This had to be a good site. At depth, the visibility was 100+ with a school of large tarpon hanging around above the bridge area at between 70 and 50 feet. Quite the sight! A great dive...the bottom time went way too so fast.
