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.

The parking area is situated on an elevated site that overlooks the entrance. When we arrived in the late morning, there was a couple whose car had been robbed while they were in the water. The parking area is deserted and a robber can see any cars driving up the road. If you park here, don't leave anything in the car. Great site, don't let a potential breaking and entering ruin your return.
