Per the Barcel blogger, one ofthe best-known wrecks is theSS Antilla, also called the ghost ship of Aruba. The most daring even cross the porthole and open the hatches to investigate this 122-meter-long ship that was set on fire by its own German crew to prevent their enemies of World War II from taking it.

Check out the video here for an inside look at divers exploring the wrecked Antilla.

Other unique finds that divers can check out include the cargo ship Jane, which is a 75-meter-long Venezuelan ship, as well as the remains of a YS-11 model airplane made in Japan. In fact, divers can actually swim inside the cabin, if they dare.
