Question Wreck diver specialty in Aruba

[hendrik jr]

In 2024, I want to dive in Aruba and do the wreck diver specialty there (and perhaps even advanced wreck diver). I want to see the wrecks there and I figure I might as well get certified while I'm there (and enjoy wrecks even more).

Google hits quite a few PADI centers that offer the wreck diving specialty, Pure Diving Aruba also offers the SDI wreck diving specialty.

Question 1: Any reason to pick SDI over PADI (quality-wise)?
Question 2: Any recommendations for dive centers? Or ones that I should avoid?
Question 3: I can't seem to find centers that offer advanced wreck courses. Does anyone know any on Aruba?

Thanks.

I recommend Pure Diving Aruba for SDI TDI courses all the way. If you ask decently Steven could take you for the deeper wrecks. Once you are hete you could ask for Erik
a marine nurse, Norman Arends even for Jeroen or Alonso they could take you
deep! Pauline
also is nive to be and dive with.
You cam do most Padi specialties and all SDI specialties with Pure Diving Aruba.
Greg Lacle Dive Aruba has hos own boat and different dive
schedule he could
accomodate you.
