Scuba diving in Aruba

Aruba ranks as one of the Caribbean’s most diversified scuba diving sites for the countless choices it offers, including wall scuba diving, reef scuba diving, the scouring of WW II sunken ships and even nightly scuba diving.

Aruba is penciled in as one of the world’s premiere destinations for wreckage scuba diving due to the good deal of sunken aircraft and vessels off its coasts. As a matter of fact, La Antilla, the Caribbean’s largest wreckage scuba diving choice, lies not far from the island’s shoreline.

If you’ve never dived before, Aruba offers courses for people over 12 years old. Scuba equipment and gear are included. On the other hand, if you’re a certified diver, then this is your chance to either practice this sport, make progress in it or advance your certification in one of the international-licensed scuba diving centers around.

If visitors prefer to stay up in the surface and practice snorkeling, then you can not only feast your eyes on the beautiful coral formations, but also on the wreckage options that in some cases are visible just 30 meters deep.

Now, try out snuba (snorkeling + scuba), a modality in which breathing apparatuses float on the surface tied up to a raft with several 7-meter-long hoses hooked up to them to provide divers with oxygen.
