Antigua diving is fair to middling. I would rate New Providence as a five on a scale of one to ten and Antigua as a four. I dove off the southern coast. There was a lot of lobster and nurse sharks and not much else. I would not travel to Antigua for the diving but it is definitely worth getting wet if you are going to be there anyway.
