Great way to spend a few hours... - Great opportunity to give scuba diving a try. I did this 4 years ago and never got certified, but doing it again was just as fun and educational as the first. Lisa was a great instructor and underwater guide to the shipwreck that we explored. a great half day adventure!

Great experience on this tour! - The Dutch guide was super great & knowledgeable. We had a small group on the tour which was nice. They allowed a non-diving companion to come with me for a minimal cost & I really appreciated that.

Dwayne and Mel's Great Adventure. - Absolutely fantastic experience. Lennart (Leonard) was wonderful, professional, calm, patient. He emphasized calmness from the moment we met. We had plenty of practice in the pool and tons of reinforcement of information prior to diving in. All safety measures in place. Our dive was beautiful, and we didn't have complications, but I would have felt safe with Lennart as a guide, if something did go wrong. Lennart took beautiful photos and videos that he shared with us. We saw 3 sea turtles, tons of beautiful marine life, puffers, Sgt Majors, Blue Tang, many. many schools of fish all around us. We ended our journey safely with a cameo appearance of a Spotted Eagle Ray. Tons of value for want they charge for this trip. Remarkable. Say 'yes' to this experience if you've always wanted to try Scuba! Maybe you will get Lennart...but all the other Dive Masters were very kind, thorough and capable all around us!

Must do - First time diving experience. We are not certified (yet) but wanted to see how we would enjoy it. My husband and I absolutely loved it. We went to the pool first to get comfortable with the equipment and skills. Once we were ready we went to the boat. We got to dive around and old ship wreck site. The instructor was great at making sure I felt comfortable. He stayed within arms reach during the whole dive. We got to see a turtle, eel, and multiple beautiful fish. We can’t wait to dive again.

You won’t regret it ! - If you are on the fence about scuba diving just do it ! I was so nervous and our instructor helped to ease my anxiety during our pool practice and before getting into the ocean . Very knowledgeable as he has been doing this for 40 plus years! I cannot wait to come back to Aruba and do this experience again .

Lots of fish - The snorkeling tour was very interesting, but need more safety instruction for those who did it the first time, in case of drowning. Also, in order to attract more fish to see, fish food may be provided by the crew to certain area. Just like what I saw in Hawaii.

Go elsewhere. - No one came to great us for over an hour. Our excursion was supposed to start at 1pm and they didn’t check us in until 140 pm. Then the lady who checked us in I believe her name is steward Was absolutely rude ! My daughter filled out the medical card and stated she had intestinal issues (she’s lactose intolerant and refuses to stop eating cheeses so her tummy always hurts her) and they refused to allow her to scuba dive . I asked for a refund for her and they stated because I booked with viator they cannot . So I went to viator link and requested a refund . They straight lied to viator and stated that my daughter was allowed to participate when she wasn’t ! I did this excursion with my husband back in March and didn’t have this issue with the company. Will not do this excursion again .
