Receive expert guidance from our certified dive instructors who ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Your journey begins with a comprehensive orientation, covering the essentials of diving, equipment use, and underwater techniques. Enjoy an introductory dive experience that spans approximately 2.30 hours, introducing you to the ocean’s marvels. Your guide will provide you with all the equipment and show you how to use it before we head out to the dive site so you can become a PRO from day one. You'll have an adventurous time exploring the underwater world! **important note** For This Discover Scuba Diving Activities, it's typically advised not to fly on the same day after participating due to the risk of decompression sickness.

5.00Scuba diving with Luis was amazing! He took me out solo and made the whole experience feel super safe and relaxed. You can tell he’s very experienced, he was patient, clear with instructions and just really easy to vibe with. What made it even better was his sense of humor, he kept things light and fun, made the dive feel like and adventure with a friend rather than just a lesson. The cherry on top, Luis took a bunch of awesome photos and videos of me during the dive and shared them right after. I can’t recommend this enough, go for it, you’ll have an unforgettable time.
Great dive with my daughter

5.00Great first experience with Jeff and Martina. They were very patient with teaching and demonstrating things. Loved the fact we started in more shallow water first then went deeper. We saw all kinds of fish and a shipwreck. Definitely would recommend!
Wow! Amazing experience!

5.00Amazing experience. Did this with my 18 year old son and husband. We were all a little nervous since we were first timers - the instructors were great, very reassuring and helpful! The group is meant to be small and it ended up being just the 3 of us with 2 instructors. After on-land instruction, they took us to a beautiful lagoon to practice and do our first dive. They guided us all through the process and we practiced everything we needed to do to be safe. Felt safe the entire time and loved this whole experience! We could not have asked for a better introduction into the world of scuba. Bonus, they took lots of pictures and shared them all with us! Highly recommend!
Excellent experience

5.00Amazing experience. I went out with Martina and she made it relaxed and stress-free. She made sure I was comfortable in the shallow water before diving deeper and the sights are some of the coolest i’ve ever seen. The entire crew are friendly and I would definitely dive with them again.
First time in Aruba

5.00This was my first scuba experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Coco was patient, a fantastic teacher, and wonderful at easing my anxiety. My husband struggled with acclimating his ears and Coco made the transition seamless for him. I would not hesitate to book with Aruba Bob. It’s a truly beautiful location to dive, and a better experience than I could have imagined.
It was a great...
