BOAT DIVES DESCRIPTIONS
Arashi Reef: This young reef is filled with surprises.

You will see patches of reef, hard and soft corals, plenty of schools of fish all at a max depth of 50ft-16m.
Antilla Wreck: A German freighter sunk on purpose by its own captain in 1940, so if would not be confiscated by the Dutch government on the island at the time. The wreck is approximately 430ft/130m long and lays at a max depth of 55ft/17m on a sandy bottom. However, the wreck is covered in coral and has plenty of marine life surrounding it. Due to its age, we do not penetrate this wreck.
