ANTARES [1] is a deep-sea, large volume Mediterranean neutrino telescope installed off the Coast of Toulon, France. It is taking data in its complete configuration since May 2008 with nearly 900 photomultipliers installed on 12 lines. It is today the largest high energy neutrino telescope of the northern hemisphere. The muons created by the interaction of neutrinos near or in the instrumented volume are detected through the Cherenkov light produced along their track. The arrival direction is reconstructed thanks to the precise determination of the time and position of the photons detected by the Optical Modules and their compatibility with a track. In order to do this and achieve the expected angular resolution of 0.3° at energies above 10 TeV, the detector needs to be precisely calibrated. We will describe here the different calibration procedures necessary to achieve the required precision.
