While doing a Caribbean cruise with Royal Caribbean, I got to dive the Antilla on March 11, 2008. Red Sail Sports ran the 2 dive trip. They met me and the others who signed up for the diving excursion at the cruise ship pier. Once everyone was aboard, we left port and the first mate Ton Jutte began issuing diving... more

Took a snorkeling trip with one of the tour groups recommended by the Hyatt Regency resort.

We snorkeled the Antilla twice while we were in Aruba (11-1 to 11-7-07) for our honeymoon. The first time was with Red Sails Sports and the second was with De Palm. This wreck is awesome to snorkel at. The size and variety of fish to see is unbelievable. It can be spooky if you're a first time snorkeler but, by... more

Best thing we saw in Aruba. We were feeling ambitious so we swam the 750meters to the wreck. We had some help from a floatie but it was still a lot of kicking. I won't even tell you how tired we were going back to shore but it made the experience more of an adventure. Great fish to see and... more

We've snorkeled in Mexico, Grand Cayman Island and many of the Caribbean islands. Although we haven't done a hugh amount of snorkeling, I thought this was one of the neatest spots we've been to yet. I was very pleased with our adventure to the Antilla. The water was crystal clear, the number and variety of fish were abundant and the... more
