Dive Sites:
41- Punt Vierkant
Dutch for "square point." Punt Vierkant marks the beginning
of the double reef system. Many types of schooling fish can be found here.
Depth 25-100 feet (8-30 meters).
42- The Lake
The second of the double reef dives, Lake has beautiful gorgonians
in the shallows and schools of circling reef fish. Depth 25-100 feet (8-30
meters).
43- Hilma Hooker (Stern)
This internationally known wreck dive is located near the beginning of
the double reef system. The top of the ship lies at 60 feet, the mast
at 99. Shore divers will find the shallows full of fish. Boat divers will
be limited to their bottom time due to the depth. This is a good place
to see how corals have developed on an artificial site that was created
with the sinking of the ship in 1984. It gives an idea of how long hard
corals might take to recover from the damage due to storms. Depth 25-100
feet (8-30 meters).
44- Angel City
One of the most interesting of the double reef dives. A sand channel separates
the two distinct reef systems. Lots of friendly French angels and parrotfish
here, and the channel is host to garden eels and stingrays. Shore divers
should watch their navigation, as the double reef formation can be confusing.
Depth 30-100 feet (9-30 meters).
