SS Antilla Wreck
Antilla
A German cargo ship scuttled in 1940, about 120 metres long and one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean, visible from both snorkelling and diving trips.
The Antilla was a German cargo ship. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, her captain ordered her scuttled to avoid seizure. The wreck is about 120 metres long and lies on its side around 18 metres deep, off Malmok. Her hull sits only a few metres below the surface, so snorkellers can see the whole outline, while divers can enter the holds. Sea turtles, garden eels and large schools of fish surround the wreck. Visits are only possible on tour boats or with dive operators, and it is usually combined with snorkelling at Boca Catalina as a half-day trip.
