Aruba's Best Dive Sites

The largest wreck in the Caribbean. A 400 ft German freighter scuttled on May 10, 1940. Enormous cargo compartments covered in coral and bursting with fish schools. An absolute must-dive on any Aruba itinerary.

Known as the home of the turtles, Arashi Reef suits beginners and experienced divers alike. Features coral formations, parrot fish, angelfish, rays, and wreckage from a Lockheed Lodestar aircraft scattered across the reef.

A 245-foot, 499-ton cargo ship sunk in August 2000. Known as the Cinderella of Aruban shipwrecks, she rests nearly upside-down with the propeller at the shallowest point. A stunning and unique wreck dive.

An oil tanker torpedoed in 1942 during WWII. Wreck sections including cabins, wash basins and lavatories are spread among beautiful coral. At just 25 ft deep, this is a perfect site for first-timers and Discover Scuba dives.

A 120-foot fuel barge sunk in 1992, now covered in leaf and brain corals. Known for lobsters, moray eels, stingrays, and giant barrel sponges. Two distinct dive spots combined into one unforgettable experience.

Two intentionally sunken aircraft rest side by side: a damaged Convair 340 and an intact Air Aruba YS-11 still pointing nose-up in a takeoff position. A dramatic and otherworldly dive at 90 feet depth.

Accessible via a carved rock staircase leading directly into the sea. Tres Trapi is calm and protected, making it ideal for confined water training and refresher sessions. Sometimes described as diving in a natural pool.
