Thank you for the video. I dove the Hilma Hooker some years ago. Although there are boats that go to this wreck, if you are a decent swimmer and it's a nice day, you can easily swim to it from shore as you showed in your video. There wasn't much growing on the wreck so I found the nearby reef much more interesting than the wreck. An American who had been living in Bonaire for decades told me that the boat was treated with something that discouraged marine growth. My dive partner and I, after diving the wreck, did a slow ascent examining the nearby reef while doing so (instead of doing a "formal" motionless decom stop). Fun!
My dive buddy and I upon exit will stand next to each other and I'll use his shoulder to help push me up the step and then ill turn around and give him a hand. Seems to work well!

That’s one of the best things about Bonaire shore diving, plenty to do and see during your safety stop. Thanks for watching!
And I am watching right now 😂 Thanks for another great video!
