Hilma Hooker

About this site

The Hilma Hooker is a 71 m cargo vessel that sank in 1984 under mysterious circumstances (large quantities of marijuana were later found in a hidden compartment) and now rests on its starboard side between 18 and 30 m off Bonaire's west coast. The wreck is an exceptionally accessible and photogenic site surrounded by healthy coral gardens and resident turtles, free-swimming moray eels, and schools of grunt. It requires only a short swim from a shore entry.
