Shark Hotel is a great dive site off the Northwest Point area of Providenciales. It is traditionally thought of as an excellent deep dive with a swim through that starts at about 80 feet and exits out over the 6000 foot drop off at about 130 feet. But it is also a great shallow dive along the top of the wall that starts at around 40 feet. The wall initially drops to about 80 feet where a plateau of plate corals are found. Access to the shark hotel is through a small opening in the top of this plateau. You can see videos of two dives on this site - one deep and one shallow - at www.ScubaVisions.TV Episodes 13 and 45 (www.tinyurl.com/okklql for the shallow dive and www.tinyurl.com/ok4866 for the deeper dive).
