Aruba diving

Dave,
I've been SCUBA diving in Aruba a few times and had a fantastic time.
The west side of the island has good places (Orajestad, the capital), a
plane & ship wreck and some natural reefs at depths of no more than 80
feet max. The water temp in Feb is usually around 78-82 degrees with
unbeleivable visibility (60-100 feet). There are a few good dive shops,
make sure you check out the boat they use before committing to any of
them. I used Mermaid dive shop and they came recommended by PADI. Have
a blast!

Dave <superj@earthlink.net> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in:

:We have a friend that goes to a house in/on Aruba. He has invited us to
:join him in February. Is there diving there, is it good and what kind of
:water temps could we expect.

I liked it. If I was going to go back and only make one dive, it
would be the Sonesto Airplanes. That's just so different than
anywhere else.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

degrees. Dove the Antilla which was pretty cool and the Pedernales which
