Book this if

  • You want to snorkel a real WWII shipwreck
  • You're a beginner snorkeler who wants shallow, easy water
  • You want to see abundant tropical fish and coral
  • You want one of the Caribbean's largest wrecks, not just a reef

Why our team recommends it

The Antilla is one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean, a 400-foot WWII freighter sitting in water shallow enough for first-time snorkelers. Expect schools of sergeant majors, parrotfish, and sometimes sea turtles around the wreck. Morning trips have the calmest water and the best visibility.

Pro tip

Book a morning trip for the best visibility. The water is calmest before noon and you'll see more fish activity.
