Your Next Dive takes us to the wreck of the Antilla in Aruba. The Antilla was a German freighter that was scuttled just off the beach in Aruba at the beginning of World War II. This massive 400 foot shallow wreck is a must dive if you are in Aruba. The wreck is split in half around mid-ships and lays on it’s port side. Exploring the wreck is easy given the depth and warm temperature. We were fortunate to get in the water early and have the entire wreck to ourselves for the first part of the dive.
