| Hi, my fiancé and I are looking for some site advice for scuba diving in Aruba. We are headed down at the end of May. We have relatively new divers having about 5 dives each under our belts and only have our Open Water certifications at this point. We are getting married down there and plan on doing 2 2-tank dives while there. There seems to be about 20 sites to choose from and we want to do the best ones. I have read the posts from 2003 and on. They were helpful. Also, I'm pretty clear on the good and bad operators. We are interested in three different things so I was hoping to get some advice as to which sites others have really enjoyed. Here are our three ideas: - Wreck dive: I understand that 400' freighter is cool as are the planes and the tug boat. - - Wildlife dive: She would really like to see some sea turtles and they, as well as some sharks, should be nesting at that time, I think. - - Coral dive: It also appears that there is lots of cool coral to see of all sizes and shapes. I'm just getting into underwater photography as well so opinions there are helpful. I understand Pedernalis is good because of it's shallowness (good light) but I'm think I can snorkel that with some photo success. We are only OW rated so the 90' dives probably aren't for us. Also, we plan on doing a few of snorkel trips so I'd appreciate advice on those sites in lieu of diving the shallow ones. We have never done a shore dive, only boat dives. I'm a little leery of her stamina to shore dive to a site and then enjoy it fully. More practice swimming with fins is probably needed. Thanks in advance for the advice. Darrell |
