Antigua & Barbuda has received 12 honours in Scuba Diving magazine’s 2027 Readers’ Choice Awards, with recognition across categories including beginner and advanced diving, wrecks, walls and underwater photography. Now in their 34th year, the awards attracted nearly 11,000 reader votes.
The honours highlight the variety of diving available around Antigua. On the west coast, the shallower sections of Cades Reef offer coral formations and schools of reef fish, providing a welcoming setting for newer divers and plenty of interest for underwater photographers.
Off the south coast near English Harbour, dramatic rock formations, overhangs and wreck sites offer a different experience. At Sunken Rock, outside Indian Creek, experienced divers can explore a submerged rocky peninsula reaching depths of approximately 130 feet, with opportunities to encounter eagle rays, turtles and sharks.
