13 Hauntingly Beautiful Shipwrecks You Can Still Explore Safely
6. Hilma Hooker, Bonaire
This former cargo ship has a colourful past involving drug smuggling before being intentionally sunk off Bonaire's coast in 1984. Now lying on its starboard side between two coral reef systems at about 18-30 metres, the Hilma Hooker is a popular and accessible dive. Its clean lines and open cargo holds make for easy exploration. Encrusted with sponges and surrounded by reef fish, it serves as a stark, man-made structure beautifully reclaimed by nature, offering a safe yet evocative wreck dive experience.
