The antipode is the point Y diametrically opposite point X on the earth's surface. Think of sticking a knitting needle through the globe piercing the surface at point X and going through the center of the earth. Where it breaks out on the opposite side of the world is the antipode: point Y. Many American (and English) children grew up being told that if they dug a deep enough hole in their backyards they would pop out in China -- but that is patently false.
If X is in the northern hemisphere, then Y is in the southern, and vice versa. A place and its antipode are found at the same number of degrees of latitude away from the equator. The antipode of the North Pole -- 90 degrees N, is the South Pole -- 90 degrees S.
Lat X North = Lat Y South; and Lat X South = Lat Y North
The Longitude of point Y is 180 degrees around the globe from the Longitude of point X.
180 - Long X East = Long Y West
180 - Long X West = Long Y East

How do you find the geographic opposite coordinate to a location on a globe?
Latitude is simple: replace N with S and vice versa: if something is at latitude 43 degrees north latitude, the antipode (which is the technical term for the "opposite coordinate") will be at latitude 43 degrees south. Longitude is more complicated. You need to replace E with W and subtract the numerical value (in degrees) from 180 to get the longitude of the antipode. So the antipode of San Diego (33N 117W or thereabouts) would be 33S 63E, which is in the Indian Ocean (the nearest dry land is probably Reunion Island, roughly 700 miles away to the northwest). The only locations in the US where the antipode is actually dry land (and you could "tunnel through the Earth" and come out somewhere that wasn't underwater) are most of Hawaii (antipodes in Zambia) and a few spots in the extreme north of Alaska (antipodes in Antarctica).
