A trip below Aruba's crystal-clear,
azure blue waterline is an opportunity to discover the
diversity of Aruba's underwater world. Schools
of yellowtail snapper against mountainous star coral is the sight
most often seen but certainly not the only one. Rare frogfish,
sea turtles and stingrays also inhabit this world, near the reefs
and along the island's 17 miles of shoreline. How you choose to
visit these sites is completely up to you - of Aruba's two dozen
prime scuba diving sites many are accessible right from the shore,
including wreck dives and deep dives up to 120 feet. Drift diving
is also another popular feature in Aruba, allowing divers to ride
the current past a kaleidoscope of colors created by tropical
fish of all shapes against different coral formations.
The diversity and beauty of
Aruba's marine ecosystem is always available for viewing by divers
as well as snorkelers. though there are slight differences as
a result of seasonal changes, Aruba maintains a warm underwater
environment in the high 70ºF to low 80ºF and visibility between
60 and 100 feet, allowing even snorkelers to visit and enjoy wrecks
such as Antilla, a 60-foot dive. Couples of witch only
one is certified to dive can therefore still travel together to
the same sites and enjoy similar adventures.
