I'm lucky enough to be spending the first 2 weeks of September in Antigua on holiday this year - (It'll Make a change from bad visibility, cold water and 7mm wetsuits at home!!) and fancy doing some diving while I'm there.

Can anyone recommend any dive centres/charter trips that operate from there? And do they mind taking UW photographers?

Has anyone had any bad experiences diving there?

Also is it worth me taking any of my own gear - BCD, Regs etc? I was planning on taking everything except my wetsuit/tank/weightbelt.

Thanks

Paul
 
If the only diving you have done has been cold water, bad vis. and no fish you will love Antigua. The water is warm and the vis is pretty good. The diving is okay. Lots of lobsters and nurse sharks and not a lot else. It was my first real ocean diving and I enjoyed it very much. It doesn't really compare to some of the better diving that the Caribbean has to offer but its better than sitting on the beach. I dove with a private op out of Curtain Bluff resort so I can't help you there. Good luck!
