Aruba is situated just north of Venezuela, at the southern end of the Caribbean, and along with Curacao and Bonaire, form what is more commonly known as the Dutch Antilles. At only 70 square miles, this small yet beautiful island still manages to attract over 500,000 visitors every year, and as with the majority of the tourist destinations in the Caribbean, the dive industry in Aruba is a developed and highly organised one. With over 42 separate dive sites to choose from, visitors looking to dive in Aruba are seldom disappointed.
The diving in Aruba tends to be focussed around the more sheltered south west coastline, where a good number of dive sites are congregated. Here, a good amount of coral, accompanied by a large number of decent wrecks, has resulted in opportunities for both novice and experienced divers to enjoy these warm waters. In recent years, the authorities in Aruba have started a number of conservations projects, designed to protect these delicate shallow reefs surrounding the island, and as such, we have seen the formation of a number of marine parks opened in the waters of Aruba.
