Put on your scuba flippers and get ready for amazing diving off the coast of Antigua and Barbuda. Both islands are completely surrounded by coral reefs and shipwrecks. One of them, Cades Reef, is now an underwater park. There are plenty of scuba shops to get all your gear, masks, and scuba flippers as well.

From 123ScubaDive.com: Both Antigua and Barbuda are almost completely surrounded by well-preserved coral reefs, walls, and shipwrecks. The southern and eastern coasts of Antigua and virtually the entire coast of Barbuda are surrounded by shelves, providing excellent conditions for spectacular shallow diving and snorkeling. There is little or no current in most places, and the water temperature averages about 80 F (25 C). Underwater visibility ranges from 50 to 140 feet, and tropical marine plants and animals are diverse and plentiful. Snorkeling is possible at many of both islands' most beautiful beaches; one of Antigua's best-known offshore sites, Cades Reef, is now partly contained in a designated underwater park.
