Hi,

While the diving on Aruba is not great, it has several nice locations,
mostly ship wercks.
The Antillies is the largest and most famous of these.  It is close to
several dive shops along Palm Beach, where there is a string of large
hotels.  Unique Sports is a nice small operation that I have done about a
dozen dives with during the last 4 years. They are about 1 or 2 hotels north
of the large Wyndham hotel on Palm Beach (also called the high rise
district).

Red Sails Sports is also OK and is several hotels farther north.

If you go there,  take a look at the Mill Resort, just across the srteet,
next to the large windmill.

I have stayed at the Mill during all of my trips to Aruba, and really like
it.  But I hear that hurricane Ivan did a lot of
damage and that the lower floor rooms of the Mill are not open because of
flooding.  How bad is it?
