All three islands are vastly different in culture and atmosphere, but they all boast spectacular underwater dive sites in the warm, crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. Most divers come to Aruba for its fantastic wreck dives, including the shallow Antilla wreck, and love the beautiful reefs and turtle filled seagrass beds. Bonaire is known as the “shore diving capital of the world.“ Protected from ocean currents, diving in Bonaire is excellent year-round, and with over 60 accessible shore dive sites, almost every room rental comes with its own small truck for transporting your dive gear. Curaçao diving offers a perfect mix of shore diving, walls, coral reefs, and wrecks to explore.
