Watersports - Antigua Fishing & Antigua Diving
The popularity of Antigua diving and Antigua fishing, two activities that bring many visitors to this pretty Leeward Island, are a product of its more than ideal conditions. The waters surrounding Antigua, particularly in the south and east, are swathed in natural shelves. These coral reefs, which once protected the island from invading ships, now invite scuba and snorkeling buffs to explore the bounty that Antigua diving has to offer. Bright exotic fish are plentiful here, making their homes within the delicate coral formations. Antigua diving excursions benefit not only from these plentiful options, but from calm, warm currents (averaging 80 degrees) and visibility of up to 140 feet as well. The authority on Antigua diving is Dive Antigua, located at the Rex Halcyon Cove in Dickenson Bay. Visitors who want to experience some Antigua diving can arrange a two-tank or five-tank tour, and even get open-water certified through this company. Big-game catches in the outer reaches of Antigua's shore attract anglers for exciting Antigua fishing adventures. Tuna, wahoo, and marlin are abundant and easy to find, especially with a seasoned Antigua fishing pro as your guide. Antigua fishing excursions are available through private charters like the Nimrod and the Obsession. Both charge an average of US$1300 to $1600 for the entire day of Antigua fishing, split between up to 12 passengers and including equipment.
