Snorkel Aruba
When you think of snorkeling Aruba, one thing should come to mind: Ship Wrecks!
(Don't worry, not your ship!)
Aruba specializes in undersea shipwrecks of all kinds. And if you don't know better, ship wrecks are loved by coral and reef fish!
As long as the ship has been underwater for a certain amount of time, the reef grows all over it.
I don't know the specifics of reef development. But I imagine that the ships have to be in somewhat sheltered water (or create their own shelter) and must be close enough to the surface for sunlight to penetrate. In Aruba, most of the ships crashed near the existing reefs. Some of the ships have masts that stick out above the water.
There are old sailing ships, navy-type ships and even a plane or two laying around Aruba. It is a snorkeler's dream.
