Antigua is small enough to explore easily, and varied enough to feel different every day.

From historic harbour towns to hidden beaches, day trips here are simple, scenic, and genuinely rewarding.

Mamora Bay Divers, St James Club

Both Antigua and Barbuda are almost completely surrounded by well-preserved coral reefs. There is little or no current in most places, and the water temperature averages about 80˚ F (25˚ C). Underwater visibility ranges from 40 to 130 feet, and tropical marine plants and animals are diverse and plentiful.
