Romeo's from Native Divers's boat was out of the water last week just so you guys know.. Was shocked when I got there. I was staying in the Surf Club were they are located. I dove with Jads dive shop on baby beach instead!! I am so happy I went with them... They were fabulous.. I did my 4 checkout dives, then 2 recreational dives... Did very well on the checkouts... Dive #5 was a 85 foot plane wreck... I was not allowed to penetrate it though :) . JADS dives IMHO much better reefs, then the bigger ops... Last year I dove a resort course with Unique Sports, and only dove on Palm Beach... I thought the reefs looked baron from what I saw... That was until I dove with Jads.. My first 4 dives were pretty much on secluded locations.. All beach entries, which I think are really cool.... My favorite one was called rocky beach... Jads has a private entrance to this reef. The coral and wildlife was so dense and lush down there, I thought I was on the great barrier reef!!

My instructors name was Rudolph.. He was insanely good... Great teacher, very patient, and flexible.. What I loved about him was that he also let me enjoy my checkout dives.. There were skills, and I did them all with no problems, but he also let me shoot some photos/videos, and have some explore time.... Had such a good time, went back for 2 more dives, #5 and #6 at the end of the week... Also Jads picks you promptly every day, as well as drops you off free of charge... I would only dive with them when I go back to Aruba.. Which will most likely be next year...
