Antilla
Located in: Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico >> Aruba >> Aruba
The largest wreck in the South Caribbean, the Antilla, was a German freighter confiscated at the start of World War II. The German crew opened its valves and let it sink rather than be confiscated. This is a very popular day or night dive site, where everything that lives under the sea can be seen. You can pose for a photograph in the Captains bathtub, which lies beside the wreck.
Did a day dive and a night dive on this one. The hull at night is in bloom with orange coral....pretty cool. Also saw a huge eel nail a lobster.Churned up the whole area. Another cool siting Date posted: 13-Apr-2006 13:17 by: dave who thought that:
Anyone can dive this wreck.
Ranked it as:
Visibility a bit iffy due to the large number of divers. Best go first dive in the morning before the madding crowd. Wreck penetration is OK for advancded divers. Date posted: 23-Nov-2005 22:21 by: Dave who thought that:
