7:25 History of the Wreck
Building
Antilla was launched in Hamburg on 21 March 1939 and completed on 11 July.
Antilla is one of the Caribbean's largest shipwrecks, exceeded by only the 600-foot (180 m) cruise liners Bianca C. and Antilles. Antilla lies on its port side in Malmok Bay, Aruba in up to 60 feet (18 m) of water, but with a small part of its starboard side exposed above water. By 1953 storm damage had broken the wreck in two amidships.
Corals and tube sponges have colonized the wreck, which attracts lobsters, hawksbill sea turtles and many species of fish, including moray eels and blue tang. In 2010 a large Atlantic goliath grouper was reported living in the forward section.
Antilla is a popular dive site, and has been popular for penetration diving. Storm damage has continued to break up the wreck, and some divers consider it now unsafe to enter.

Excelente vídeo Alejandro D., no me pierdo ninguno de los que publican. Y me gusta mucho que siempre termines todos los vídeos con un poco de la historia de como el barco termino en cada sitio, gracias por compartir todas tus experiencias!!!! Ya guarde la locación para ir a bucear allí cuando las circunstancias lo permitan...... Saludos desde Arg. PD: participo en el grupo BUZOS SIN FRONTERAS, pero te sigo desde antes. jajajajá.
