The cruise ship we were on arranged dives for us to do our cert dives in Aruba. They used Red Sail. I am sure it was only because the were the lowest bidder. Colorado Fred has it right "cattle boats". They set up everyones equip for them, so there were several tanks that were loose. They didn't tie to the mooring line at the Antille properly, so the boat drifted. Divers from their other boats ended up on our boat and vice versa. Not a great intro to diving! Have to admit that it was pretty cool doing fin pivots on the deck of a wwii era ship!!!!! You can actually do the antille as a shore dive, but none of the dive shops will tell you that. You are taking the right approach, doing researcch before you get there. Good Luck!!!
