I'll be traveling to Aruba on my own in December.

Anyone have DIVE recommendations for Aruba?

If you are an experienced diver - this is your operator.

If you are new - might be a little intimidating - You will need to decide!

Well, thanks for the response. First am traveling by myself and don't have a dive buddy. That's issue, since I don't like to dive with out a buddy, never have never will. Hopefully they can help with that issue.

I don't consider myself brand new but I have only 20 dives. Advance open water cert, Nitrox cert. Been on several Drift dives, and wreck dives. No shore dives yet but having run into any.


So my question is have you dived with this guy personally? I only assume so since your recommending him.

Thanks

Never personally been to Aruba.
Been on this board since 2002 and have never heard a single negative about this operator (not once)

You might want to ask on one of these forums:

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

This is a huge site, with many forums and subforums. You asked your questions in the introductions area, a forum that draws very few viewers and especially not the ones most able to answer your questions..

If you scroll down to the Regional Travel section, you will find a forum for the very region you seek. There you can do two things--use the search feature to see how many different threads have already been started on your very topic. You will even find one that I started quite a few years ago if you search hard enough. You can even ask your own question anew.

I am going to ask that your thread be moved to that section, where it will draw the eyes of many more knowledgeable people than it will here.

You can also scroll into the equipment area and do the same thing with your question about cameras.

JADS at baby beach - they will pick you up were ever you are ( on the island ) Ask JP the owner to set you up w/ Walter and start w/ a shore dive . Cant go wrong - ENJOY

I am in Aruba now and have been using Unique Sports of Aruba. I have used them for over 10 years and consider them great! They will pick you up anywhere that you stay. Yes the South coast dives are more advanced as depths appoach 100 feet on most of the dives there. The Antilla, Malmok, Pedernales are shallower dives and also very nice.
