Antilla Snorkel

Apr 2024 • Couples

We snorkeled around the Antilla as part of a cruise ship snorkel excursion. This is off the coast a bit and is deep, so it is a little darker. However, it was really neat to snorkel around this sunken vessel. We did see many types of fish around, but once you've gone around the vessel as few times, there really isn't anything else to see in this snorkel location.

Very cool experience

Aug 2023 • Family

Saw Antilla on a snorkel cruise reserved at one of the many water sports vendors along Palm Beach. Snorkel and fins were provided. Sadly, we only had 30min, I could have used more time because the ship is large and it's such a wonder to look at. The water was rather choppy and currents strong, so this might be a little scary for less confident swimmers. The ship is BIG and in two pieces, so if you don't venture further out from the boat, you might not even see the second piece. I regret not knowing this beforehand. Bring an underwater phone case! Another regret of mine. The fish were amazing. Overall, it was well worth a visit for 60USD!

Didn’t get a chance to see the shipwreck because the waves were too strong and I couldn’t swim. We ended up leaving early. Highly recommend

Great snorkel and diving experience for the whole family.

Very accessible wreck with tons of sea life. Kids and wife loved the scuba and we all snorkeled twice.

Great adventure for a snorkeler!

Oct 2022 • Couples

We were for ourselves as we went there around lunch time, when everyone else leaves. Did some snorkeling there and it was such a great view. You do not need to be a diver for this. But take an underwater camera - its worth it!

Super Cool to see a Shipwreck

Oct 2022

Loved this! This was the first shipwreck that I've snorkeled at. If you've never seen a shipwreck before, it's quite a sight! The snorkeling was cool, but there are also scuba tours as well as a submarine tour that visits this site. It's only a couple hundred yards off the cost and a top spot for most tours in the area.

Nice to see

Jul 2022

I wasn't that impressed. A rather big boat but while it is already 70 years under water there is not that much reef on it. Nice to do a wreck , of course , but nothing special behalve the length.

Nice wreck dive

Jun 2022

I went to the Antilla while on a day diving excursion with Palm Beach Divers. Our first stop was the Antilla and it was a great dive. The wreck had an abundance of fish, coral growth and the visibility was great.

Perfect for History Lovers

Dec 2021

We saw the Antilla during a submarine tour. It was fascinating to see and hear the history behind it. There are also some really cool-looking fish and turtles living near it/in it.

Is there a minimum age for this tour? Do you offer transport from the cruise port?

There are snorkeling tours that go out to the Antilla, but I have to second the recommendation to visit AquaWindies and check out getting certified to dive. Just dove the Antilles this morning with them, for maybe my 50th time and I still love it!

We went with Delphi Water Sports. Great crew!! Super fun rope swing into the water and water slide off the back. Nice, clean, big boat. Our tour only had maybe 15 people on it in March - plenty of room. Lunch included.

Hi, We are considering a holiday at the Saint-James Club and would like to dive with your diving operation if possible...a second question is the fact that i would be diving in st-Lucia to do underwater photos of the seahorse population around the island...will you pick up and drop off at the hotel?

Where should we rent a car? At the airport? What car rental service is the most reasonably price?

I found that Tropic Car rental was the best and they have a service that picks you up at the airport ant takes you to them. The owner is very nice to deal with too.
