Most of Aruba’s diving sites are located on the western and southern coasts of the island near the hotels on the coast mainly the famous Palm Beach Aruba, one of the best Caribbean Beaches.

In Aruba’s waters a diver will meet many stingrays, moray eels, manta rays, barracudas and yellow tail.

The Aruba Beaches on the west coast have a shallow sand plateau that allows divers to get to the sites by boat where the visibility is great on clear waters with depths ranging from 20 to 100 feet with little or no currents.

Diving Beginners or Diving Veterans

Once in Aruba, if you want to try this sport and it is totally new and unknown to you, go to one of the desks at the hotels, or phone one of the recommended divers in this article and they will lead you by the hand from the very first lesson.

But if you are one those that have been bitten by the diving bug and have dived before you will be help with PADI Certification and all procedures.

It is much recommended to use one of the experts in the field that are PADI certified and are prepared to deal with beginners and experts at the same time.

The pros will take you to the right diving sites. Most of the diving desks are located on Aruba All Inclusive Resorts on the beach.

Aruba is famous worldwide for its scuba diving due to few shipwrecks like the above mentioned Antilla, a German freighter close to 400 feet long. This site is the number one visited in Aruba and the veterans always find something new to see and show at this wreck.

Penetrating the impressive hull of an underwater wreck often means coming across a school of anchovies or a watchful snapper hiding in the corner.

Often it is enough to enjoy the play of light as it too finds its way into the wreck, reflecting off the bubbles emitted by your dive buddy.
