5.00I booked a two tank morning dive and also a night dive. All the dives were great with wrecks and a lot of amazing sea life. Ronny was our dive master and was awesome to bring us through some of the wrecks and pointing out many sea creatures. Ryan captained the boat and was very helpful getting on and off the boat safely. Would definitely recommend booking with them for any dive trips!
I would do this again!!

5.00I highly recommend Aruba Water Sports Center as a tour operator and the certified scuba trip in Aruba. Their boat is larger than some that I saw at our dive sights. Our dive master, Ronnie, was very knowledgeable about the area and took extra time to recap the skills both in the boat and under water. That is above and beyond what I’ve seen on other dive trips. Ronnie was quick to point out the stone fish, eels, and manta ray that I clearly would not have seen! The Antilla ship wreck sight was very cool and a great experience navigating in an out of the ship. Ronnie was quick to assess our experience level and lead us through safely based on our comfort level. The boat captain, Ryan, was great and very helpful to the divers too! There were only 2 divers on this trip and they still went out on the trip, which was very appreciated and also resulted in a semi-private experience! I will use them again when I am back in Aruba!
Great dive
