West Coast of Aruba

Aruba's West Coast is famous for its stunning beaches and excellent diving conditions. The area is sheltered from the strong Atlantic currents, resulting in calm waters that are ideal for diving activities all year round. Divers here can explore a mix of artificial reefs created by shipwrecks and natural coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, sea turtles, and occasionally, dolphins. Noteworthy dive sites include the Pedernales wreck, a World War II tanker, and the Boca Catalina, a shallow reef perfect for snorkelers and beginner divers.
