Travel to Aruba
Aruba is a perfect destination for some quiet time and a book whilst lounging on a deck chair. But for those with more energy, there is windsurfing, waterskiing, kite surfing and parasailing to keep occupied. If you plan to get away from the water for the day, there is also the option of hiring a Jeep or quad bike and touring the island. The Aloe Museum and Factory is a place where flora enthusiasts can experience the full extraction procedure of aloe, and appealing products can be purchased as souvenirs. Aruba hosts coral reefs, seagrass gardens and the 2nd most wrecks in the Caribbean. These sunken ships are ideal for all levels of scuba divers.
Diving in Aruba
Diving in Aruba means you have a big list of sites to pick from, depending on your qualification level and interest. But for the most part, Aruba attracts those looking for wrecks since Aruba's best dive sites are overwhelmingly wreck dives. Some sunk intentionally create an artificial reef. Some wrecks are perfect sites for beginners who want to try their fins at what the sea has claimed over the years. The most famous of these is the Antilla. It's an excellent wreck for beginners or those who wish to explore the ship's spacious interior. There are also wrecks for more advanced divers if you don't mind diving a bit deeper and swimming harder due to the strong currents. Once you've had your fill of wrecks, make sure to explore the reefs and seagrass gardens. Famous sites consist of Mike's Reef, Malmok Reef and Mangel Halto Reef.
