I just got back from Aruba last night and got some great diving in with JADS (my 7th trip where I dived with them). Connect with them - they are a great dive shop and will take good care of you.

Are you sure you really want to do that? Can't you pause and think it through for few more days?

What are you asking to think through for a few more days? Aruba is a fantastic honeymoon spot and actually has some very good diving.

I was asking him about his getting married plans.
I wanted him to think and deliberate carefully and deeply taking into consideration all issues and potential circumstances of his marriage.
It is none of your business. Take a step back.

It is neither in my own experience and compared with the other Islands. It had great gambling casinos however (AFAIK but I have never entered them).
 
Several good dive shops. I would choose ones close to where you stay.
several good dive sites, but you may not have much choice as dive shops determine where they go. JADS have a predetermined schedule you can look up on their web site weeks ahead of time with one day being captains choice. JADS also will pick up for a fee.

To each his own - I’ve been there 8 times (just got back last night) and it’s a great destination. Fantastic weather almost guaranteed year round, friendly locals, great restaurants, beaches and nightlife - and It has something for everyone - from high-end luxury to budget conscious.

From a pure diving POV, Bonaire is better - the sites in Aruba are limited but the reefs are quite healthy and there is WAY more fish on the reefs than in places like Grand Cayman (which has more dramatic reef landscapes but has seen a decline in reef health and fish life from my experience).

Outside of diving, I’d personally rate Aruba FAR higher than most other Caribbean islands.

I have been to Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba about 20 times myself and Aruba is last choice for me.

But, as you said, to each his own :)
