Aruba Travel: hotel recommendations, scuba dive shop, etc.?

[groverraj]

Hi. I am off to Aruba in teh first week of October. I intend to scuba alot. Looking for a good hotel on the beach if possible. I saw rates of $112 at Aruba Resort Spa And Casino and $105 at Divi Dutch Village.

Which would be a better hotel to stay at. I want the beach/pool for my wife who won't dive. But we want to eat in the city... I hear the restaurants in the city are great. So which is closer?

Should I rent a car, or can I do without one?

Anyone know a good Scuba Dive shop in Aruba?

Divi Divi and Tamarjin are both on the beach, both have nice pools. Have stayed at both.
Very nice.
You can do without a car.
