Diver swimming near the Hilma Hooker shipwreck

HomeDiving SitesHilma Hooker

This internationally known wreck dive is located near the beginning of the double reef system. The Top of the ship lies at 18 meters (60 ft.), the mast at 30 meters (99 ft.). Shore divers will find the shallows full of fish. Boat divers will be limited in their bottom time due to the depth. This is a good place to see how corals have developed on an artificial site that was created with the sinking of the ship in 1984. It gives an idea of how long hard corals might take to recover from damage due to storms.
