Antigua And Barbuda

Old Road

Old Road is a small town on Antigua, mainly serving as a gateway to the northern coast and nearby beaches. While the city itself isn’t a major diving hub, Antigua offers a variety of shore and boat dives accessible from nearby centers around the island. The dive centers in the area typically operate from coastal resorts and harbors, providing introductory dives, PADI courses, and trips to popular sites around Antigua and nearby Barbuda. Expect warm Caribbean waters, generally calm conditions, and abundant coral, sponges, and tropical reef fish at many local sites within a short boat ride. Freshwater options are limited in the immediate area, so most diving activities revolve around saltwater reef and wall sites around Antigua.
