Tim Ingersoll:Dove with the on-site dive op at Curtain Bluff. The diving was average to below average for Caribbean diving.
MaraGirl:Antigua gets a bad rap because most of the dive operators dive Cades Reef.
And the vast majority of the islands sits on a sandy shelf so not a lot of depth and
Cades is a relatively quick trip from the cruise ship dock.
The one area of Antigua that has depth and more variety is the English Harbour area. There are 2 dive ops in English Harbour - the AntiguaScuba Centre (www.antiguascuba.com, email: info@antiguascuba.com) and
Aquanaut Divers (email: aquanaut@candw.ag).
It's a 30 minute cab drive from the dock and the advantage here is that you can do a 2-tank dive, tour Nelson's Dockyard, grab a bite to eat and then head back to the ship.
