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.

I was scared about going back to this site because the last time (the only other time I've been there) I found the entry/exit very difficult. However, this time we knew to walk out next to the concrete slab and then float out quickly. Boy, was it worth it. The formation and shape of the reefs are dramatic -- awesome. It was exhilarating. It deserves its reputation as a "must do" dive.
