Scuba diving in Antigua If you and one of your teens are divers, you're in luck:
Antigua is a top dive spot. Antigua has a good variety of scuba sites:
shallow reefs, deep coral canyons, caves, and wrecks. Certification is
required and these operators offer lessons for full certification or resort
courses. •The Chimney: Located southwest of Antigua, this dive
features a small cave at a depth of 60 feet, with sponge-filled gullies
descending to 80 feet. Look for large parrot fish, lobsters, eels, and
nurse sharks in the vicinity. •Thunderhead: Just a short boat ride from the west
coast hotels, this shallow site lies in 35 feet of water, making it popular
with beginning divers. This wreck-strewn site features artifacts (medicine
bottles and chamber pots have been found here) as well as hard corals.
•Sunken Rock: Advanced divers appreciate this deep site, with a maximum depth of over 120 feet. The dive begins at 40 feet in a coral canyon that descends a sandy ledge. Divers then proceed down a drop-off to the bottom of the ocean. Barracuda, amberjack, and rays are usually found here. Back to Antigua with Kids
