  abstract = {{T}he {ANTARES} experiment consists of an array of photomultipliers distributed along 12 lines and located deep underwater in the {M}editerranean {S}ea. {I}t searches for astrophysical neutrinos collecting the {C}herenkov light induced by the charged particles, mainly muons, produced in neutrino interactions around the detector. {S}ince at energies of similar to 10 {T}e{V} the muon and the incident neutrino are almost collinear, it is possible to use the {ANTARES} detector as a neutrino telescope and identify a source of neutrinos in the sky starting from a precise reconstruction of the muon trajectory. {T}o get this result, the arrival times of the {C}herenkov photons must be accurately measured. {A} to perform time calibrations with the precision required to have optimal performances of the instrument is described. {T}he reconstructed tracks of the atmospheric muons in the {ANTARES} detector are used to determine the relative time offsets between photomultipliers. {C}urrently, this method is used to obtain the time calibration constants for photomultipliers on different lines at a precision level of 0.5 ns. {I}t has also been validated for calibrating photomultipliers on the same line, using a system of {LED}s and laser light devices.},
