Overall Rating

Unique Sports of Aruba provided an enjoyable series of dives from very
shallow (Pedernales wreck-25ft.) to the Sonesta airplanes at 90ft. There
were never more than 8 divers on our boat and divemasters were
knowledgeable and able to find interesting critters; I saw 3 octopi on one
dive during the day! Lots of smaller, colorful fish and healthy
invertebrates on every dive, but not many big animals. Did see one enormous
Southern Stingray, and several morays. Wrecks are abundant, and the Antilla
is particularly interesting if you've never actually gone through one
before. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful; they even helped with
an emergency repair to my BC. 

The water was a bit cold for even those with a 3mm wet suit; after 40-50
minutes on the shallower sites, several of us were pretty chilled. Because
they follow a similar schedule every week, they print where they plan to
dive, with a description, so you can plan your week's activities in
advance. This is also available on the
Internet-www.visitaruba.com/uniquesports. 

Aruba has lots of good restaurants, gambling, shopping and even movie
theatres, so there's lots to do for non-divers as well. Be sure to get an
"Aruba plus" card in advance to get 10% off lots of things,
including dives and restaurants (www.visitaruba.com/plus/)
