The SS Antilla is a WWII German freighter wreck resting in shallow water off Aruba's west coast — one of the Caribbean's best snorkel wrecks. Organised boats reach the site quickly from Oranjestad-area marinas.

  • Snorkel only — no penetration; follow crew safety briefing.
  • Calm mornings improve visibility over the hull.
  • Often paired with a second reef snorkel stop.
  • Moderate swimming confidence helps in open water.
