Reef diving is also popular in Aruba. Corals of all shapes and colors can be found, both at shipwrecks and on rock formations. No matter what location you choose to dive, the scenery will be breathtaking, and no two dive trips will be the same.

Night scuba diving offers visitors a unique way to view the ocean. Everything looks completely different at night, and you won't be disappointed by the way the spectacular reefs look in the night.

Experienced scuba divers are familiar with wall diving, which means a steep plunge of seabed that extends for several meters. There are many forms of fish that feed off these walls, offering a unique look at sea life.

There are several dive operators in Aruba, many who offer more than just scuba diving. Some may also offer snorkeling and sunset trips, making it perfect for larger parties with members who'd like to do different things. Before traveling to Aruba, it is important to research dive operators to find the best price, and the companies who offer the most conveniences. If you are an inexperienced diver, be sure to research which company will be the best match for you.

"Be sure to book a company that truly knows Aruba and will show you the best spots to dive," says Smillie, who can book your dive excursions while he finds you the perfect accommodation in Aruba. "My company can expertly pair you or your family up with the diver operators that will provide you with the best experience, based on what you are looking for. If you are looking for adventure, we'll find the company with the best track record helping divers explore shipwrecks. If your family is more interested in learning about the local sea life and vegetation, we'll find the company that is the perfect match to help you explore."

If scuba diving isn't for you, consider giving snorkeling a go. Aruba has some of the most beautiful and exotic sea life, and a trip to the island wouldn't be complete without an up-close and personal experience.

No matter what scuba diving experience you choose, one thing is certain - it may just be the highlight of your island vacation. Aruba is a breathtaking island with unbelievable sites lurking above and below the surface.
