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.

Karpata

Very nice dive. Saw a sting ray and an octopus. It is easy to get into the water, with stairs and all. Great dive!

#3 - Karpata

Playa Funchi is an excellent dive.  Easy entry, a short kick-out, and plenty of sights.  There is even a bit of tree shade available.

For night dive, bring your own shore light, there are NO lights visible for orientation.

Last Dive must be done till 2:30 pm

Easy access, sandy bottom with some corrals

See the Boca Bartol North site for Washington Park entrance directions.

Playa Funchi

Dove here the end of Oct. 2008. There was a strong surf and a strong current. Had to work hard and I ran our of air quite quickly. The dive site is in Washington Slagbaai National Park. It is a very nice dive, but not for beginners.

Eighteen Palms is close to the Van der Valk resort. There was a group of two barracudas that kept on following me... Way Cool!
