Just a quick note to thank the ScubaBoard community and give a shout out to Clive in Aruba.
I did a fair bit of reading about diving Aruba before booking, a lot of which was done here on SB, and several recommended Clive. I coordinated via email and telephone and booked with him and had an excellent experience and without question will book with him again next trip.
He's a smaller boat, (6 divers max) and dives with experienced divers only, so you get a full hour or so on dives, some trickier conditions, wrecks, more tailored service / locations, etc. and not have to worry about beginner divers. (No offense to the guppies, not that there's anything wrong with that, we all have to start somewhere)
We did a few reefs, a few wrecks, and a few drift dives. All of which were excellent. Clive is a single handed operator, so cook, skipper, secretary, shuttle bus driver, equipment specialist, tour guide, etc. Again, he can do this because he's a smaller operator and can cater to an experienced group of divers. His prices were right in line with other operators as well.
Anyways, if you're looking for a smaller dive operation in Aruba, have confidence and Dive with Clive.
Thanks again to SB for the community and the reviews that keep the dive world going.
