Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Karpata
Popular with shore divers. Karpata is located at the end of the one-way section on the coastal road. Known for its good visibility and panorama views, this site is great for wide-angle photographers. Divers can pose by huge ship anchors embedded in the coral, or over branching colonies of elkhorn, which stretch from ten feet up to the surface. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters). Karpata is just to the East of the No Dive Zone, and offers some of the more spectacular diving on the island.On the stretch of road between Columbia and Karpata, 7 km North of Kralendijk.

There is much previously written about this site, but all of it's true and it's a great dive site especially is the southern end gets blown out with poor viz and high winds. There is more hard coral here and not as much sand so the viz stays pretty clear most of the time. You can get very deep on this dive, but save some tank for the shallows. There is a wide variety of life at 25'-35' in the shallower areas...go slow, look close and ENJOY this dive.
