Airplanes (Wreck)

This site is named Sponge Reef for good reason: it is covered in brightly colored, large sponges as far as the eye can see. Turtles also frequent this site.

A 250’ cement freighter sitting upright on the bottom in 90’ of water. The wreck attracts lots of schooling tropical fish and large barracudas. Deep water gorgonians, sponges and coral growing on the wreck. Excellent for photography. The reef starts in 20 feet of water and is good for snorkeling.

Aruba é um belo e variado destino de mergulho com muitos locais diferentes e excitantes para explorar. Aruba não é normalmente considerada para seus mergulhos em naufrágios, mas é rica tanto em naufrágios reais quanto em recifes artificiais afundados propositadamente, incluindo aviões!

Hole in the Wall is a beautiful, varied dive site with several entry points and routes. Enter the water from the jetty, next to the jetty, or via the beach a little further on. Dive east or westward towards Mangel Halto dive site. Dive over the beautiful to find a sloping wall with all kinds of corals and fish.

Um recife inclinado de 15' a 110' bom tanto para mergulho com snorkel quanto para mergulho autônomo e um ótimo local para mergulho noturno. Muitas combinações de corais e muita vida marinha. Uma entrada fácil para mergulho em terra.

This is a fun, shallow wreck that is mostly intact. Due to its shallow depth it is a VERY popular stop for all of the snorkel cruises so be prepared to descend among throngs of tourists. Still, a very fun dive worth the effort.

This reef is known for its huge lobsters and stingrays taking their daily “siesta“ waiting to be photographed. Giant barrel sponges in purple, orange and green are found everywhere. In 1992, a 120’ fuel barge was sunk as an additional attraction. The wreck attracts schooling fish and barracudas.

The Antilla is the largest shipwreck dive in the Caribbean at 400 feet long. Most of the ship is still intact and divers can explore the porthole, deck fitting, and interior sections. The Antilla is probably the most popular dive site in Aruba.

A fascinating reef for beginners. Parts of a sunken Lockheed Lodestar are scattered at 35 feet of water. Coral formations, parrot and angelfish surround the airplane wreckage and coral heads.

O melhor local de mergulho do lado oeste de Curaçao, acessível apenas por barco. Em ambos os lados do lindo recife de corais duros há duas manchas arenosas cheias de grandes corais macios. O enorme recife de corais duros começa a 5m / 15 pés e suavemente cai para 20 m/70 pés onde se torna um fundo arenoso.
