I just returned from a week in Aruba & spent the better part of my days with Clive & Mark @ DiveAruba. Winds and waves didn’t help underwater visibility, yet we dove undeterred, had a great time & I made some new friends. Clive & Mark did a great job of leading the dives, made sure everyone got to see what they wanted to see & kept everyone safe.
I always enjoy diving with new divers; their enthusiasm and passion for the sport fuels my own. I was fortunate to have a wonderful young lady aboard who was finalizing her PADI OW whilst vacationing in Aruba. Congratulations, Kim B. on your completing your certification – it was a pleasure meeting you & diving with you.
I last dove Aruba in 2007 and was pleased to see that their underwater environment remains healthy. We found a handful of lionfish & Mark took a shot at a couple of them, hitting & killing one. Clive kept to the schedule he publishes on his website & my diving featured three wrecks (Pilot Boat, the Antilla, & the Jane Sea). The rest of our time was spent on reefs. Plenty of Moray’s, a few turtles, lobsters, rays, etc. The wrecks are in good shape & we did a few swim-through's on both the Antilla and the Jane Sea.

[/FONT]Clive & Mark – it was a pleasure. If you guys find my Zeagle reel & sausage on the Pilot Boat wreck site, it’s all yours. If you ever re-order your t-shirts in size XL, let me know - I'd like to have one.
Thanks again,
John
