Scuba Diving For My Brother
  • Tip Rating:
  • Aruba offers great marine life and an amazing variety of underwater activity. Explore the shipwrecks from 25 to 400 ft and see the manta rays, barracudas and the rare green morey. Lessons, instructions and equipment can be arranged for at any of the major hotels ...

    For the less adventurous >>>
    glass-bottomed boats and submarines make trips out to view many of the aquatic sites...

    If you have never experienced scuba diving before, you can take a Resort Certification Scuba Diving Course so that you don't miss out on the thrilling beauty of Aruba's underwater world. That is what my brother told me just before he took a scuba-diving course ...

    Yes, he used to be a dancer at that time, working in the casino of the same hotel I stayed in. After the Aruba adventure he stopped dancing and went on as choreographer. It sounds unbelievable, but doing the photographs for magazine Harper's Bazar my brother got specialized in Diving at the
    South East side of Aruba.

    Go snorkel with Jethro on the Blue Octupus!
    Jethro will sail you out on the Blue Octupus for nice snorkel trip. If you like smaller and not over crowded and more of a one on one atmosphere, do not hesitate to board the Octupus. Located at the pier at the Holiday Inn. We take it two or three times a week while we are down there.

    SUPPLIED!

    ARUBA DULL DIVING
    THIS DECEMBER WE SPENT A DAY DIVING WITH RED SAIL SPORTS ON ARUBA'S MAIN BEACH. WHEN I SAY ON ARUBA'S MAIN BEACH THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. FOR CERTIFIED DIVERS IS WAS NOT A GOOD VALUE. THE BOAT NEVER GOT OUT OF SIGHT OF THE DIVE SHOP. IN THE PAST WE HAVE STAYED ON THE ISLAND AND KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT AT THE BABY BEACH END OF THE ISLAND THERE IS MUCH BETTER DIVING AND SNORKELING. WOULD NOT SPEND MY MONEY FOR THIS TWO TANK DIVE AGAIN.

    GEAR WAS FAIR QUALITY RENTAL GEAR. BRING YOUR OWN MASK AND SNORKEL IN ANY CASE AS YOUR COMFORT LEVEL WITH THESE HAS MUCH TO DO WITH YOUR SAFETY.

    Awesome snorkel trip!
    Both time in Aruba my wife and I enjoyed the Mi Dushi Sailing Adventure. They take you to the sunken WW II German Freighter, "Antilla" where you can either snorkel around the ship and check out all of the sea life or stay on board and drink to your heart's content. The trip includes food (continental breakfast featuring Mimosas, fresh croissants & sweet rolls. Also includes a gourmet lunch featuring appetizers like beef wellington, seafood, grilled surf & turf, seasonal), snorkeling and the ever famous rope swing that takes you up to 40 feet away from the ship.

    Snorkel equipment is provided and the only thing you'll need is sunscreen (if your not going near coral) and a t-shirt (for those that burn in the sun). Other than that, bring your courage and try a summersault while swinging off of the rope swing. Be careful - it's open bar!

    is snorkeling a sport?
    I love snorkeling -but we tried a different sport called "snuba" it was like diving -but with the tanks floating above you so you are limited to 20 feet. we saw all the fish, plus eels, starfish, and a small octopus!

    Bring an underwater camera -because there is so much cool stuff.
