Default Scuba in Aruba advice

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
