Comments This is my 13th year of diving with this company. I missed 2020 due to COVID restrictions, back problems, and started new job, and this was my first time diving since a major South Pacific month-long trip in May-June 2019. I emailed them in advance to get assurance I'd get help getting in and out of the water. Crew helped me off with BCD unit in the water, taking fins off, and getting back up the ladder. We only had 5-7 guests on my 3 days of diving, so ... Subscribe to get the full story. For Subscribers Only  Active subscribers continue reading here

My reports are about 1/3 of those posted for Aruba. I wouldn't relay on any reports older than 2019. Owners change, guides change operators or leave the island and some are just cattle boats. Any questions on Aruba, feel free to ask.

Hi Lynda, I am flying to Aruba tomorrow from Colombia with wife, son and his partner. My son and me only are divers, me experienced, my son much less so. I have not booked any dives, but I have made enquiries with 3 dive operators. We will probably only dive for a couple of days as for us it seems quite expensive. If you could recommend what you consider the top 1/2 dozen dives including wrecks that would be great. Thanks Andrew

Click on the link to the website for SE above. Click on the contact us to send them an email ASAP. The best dives are south of the airport, and SE goes to those reefs most days, so you save a lot of boat time over leaving from Palm Beach area. They go to the wrecks on the north end one day a week. Ignore COVID info. You will need to provide your diver certification cards. Google "15 best dives in Aruba". I can't post a web link per moderator rule.
