Scuba Diving in Cades Reef

Cades Reef is a barrier reef that lies on the southwest coast of Antigua, and is about an hour by boat from the capital area of St. John’s.  It is also about a quarter mile from the South Coast Horizons beach dock.

Cades Reef is several miles long, and is broken into two sections. The more shallow area, where the marine life begins is ideal for beginner divers, and the outer area is where everyone can swim around, snorkel and dive as much as they wish. This outer area is home for the larger fish and pelagics, eels and rays, and nurse and reef sharks.
