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.

Because of its high popularity (e.g. you will ALWAYS find turtles here), this site can be pretty crowded, even in off-season. Tip: dump your gear at the parking lot at La Dania's Leap, park the car at Karpata (300 m. down the road), carry your stuff across the rocks, gear up, jump in at La Dania's and drift-dive to Karpata.
