What you'll do

Dive into history at one of the Caribbean's largest shipwrecks. The SS Antilla, a 400-foot German freighter scuttled during WWII, rests in shallow waters teeming with tropical fish and vibrant coral. Accessible even for beginners, this ghost ship experience is truly unforgettable. Schools of sergeant majors and parrotfish move through the hull all day.

Why it's on the Playbook

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 and parrotfish 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.
