If you ever go back to Aruba and want to snorkel the BEST coral reef, check out these guys. arubabobsnorkeling.com
They have been on HG TV and have been #1 on Trip advisor the last 5 years in a row.

I only did three dives. I was enjoying the snorkeling and windsurfing and beaches enough that I didn't dive as much as I expected. Viz was generally around 30-50 feet. Here are the depths, times, and temps:

Danche's delight reef: 52' :47 78F (this appears in the video upthread)
Airplanes: 88' :38 78F
Reef drift: 51' :47 77F

I didn't shoot any video of the 2nd and 3rd dives because my cheap underwater housing is only rated to 25 feet and I didn't want to risk it at the planned depth of 80'.

So all the dives were one tank each? Is that the norm?

No, two tanks dives are the norm in Aruba.

So all the dives were one tank each? Is that the norm?

The operator I was using ran morning two-tank dives and afternoon one-tank dives.
