Real island support before you book. Contact us
General information
Explore Aruba's reefs and wrecks with the SE-Aruba 2 Tank Dive, with your own gear!
A daily morning dive trip for certified divers who prefer to dive with their own equipment.
What can you expect?
Check in at 8:30 AM at the SE-Aruba pier on Bucutiweg in Oranjestad and the boat leaves promptly at 9:00 AM. The crew chooses the dive sites every morning based on the day's weather and sea conditions, so you always dive where it is best that day. A professional guide leads both dives, and between the dives you enjoy a relaxed surface interval on board. After each dive there are snacks and refreshments waiting for you. Tanks and weights are included; you bring your own scuba equipment, such as BCD and regulator, and your certification.
Where will this tour take you?
The trip mainly explores the south coast of Aruba, widely seen as the best side of the island for scuba diving. Depending on the conditions, you dive a mix of vibrant reefs and wrecks, two different dives on one morning. After the second dive the boat heads back to the pier.
Who is this tour for?
This excursion is for certified divers aged 10 and up who logged a dive in the past two years and have their own gear. Groups are small, with a maximum of 12 divers, and the SE-Aruba team treats every diver as an individual, not a number. Guests without a rental car get free pickup from their hotel.
No gear of your own? The same 2 tank dive is also available including rental equipment for $135 per person.
