One of the most unforgettable experiences while in Aruba is scuba diving. Divers see a fabulous array of corals and fish, some even spot a seahorse and see how stingrays hover above the seabed. Swimming slowly over the corals, you're bound to see lobsters, moray eels and other exotic sea life. If you're lucky, you may even come across an energetic dolphin or a gentle sea turtle. Aruba is known as one of the main wreck diving destinations in the Caribbean allowing divers to visit eleven wrecks and over twenty dive sites (source: visitaruba.com)
