Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
This tour is for experienced, certified divers only. At port, a representative will assist you in completing the necessary waivers. Then, board the dive boat for a two-tank dive excursion. A 45-minute cruise will take you to the Antilla, the largest shipwreck in the Caribbean. Covered with giant tube sponges and coral formations and surrounded by lobsters and tropical fish, this dive spot has a depth of 60 feet, and the bottom time is approximately 40 minutes. Divers will be placed in small groups and guided by a dive master or instructor. After a 20-minute surface interval, the second dive will be at the shallow wreck of the Pedernalis, an oil tanker torpedoed by a German submarine during World War II. The wreck's several large pieces are spread out between coral formations. This dive has a maximum depth of 25 feet with a bottom time of approximately 35 minutes. Again, you will be split into the same smaller groups and guided.
