Dd did so well and enjoyed the snorkeling so much the day we sailed on Tranquilo, the next day she enrolled in a "Discover Scuba" course and the 3 of us dove the Pedernales late afternoon. All in all both were a great experience.
We chose Aruba Watersports only because Jerry and and I had both gone over to Unique's place on separate occasions and we both got rotten attitudes. Could see if it were an isolated incident, but 2 different days and 2 different people... in my mind, no excuse.
Anyway, "I" thought Aruba Watersports was terrific in every way. C. took the "Discover Scuba" course and I accompanied her to use as a refresher. Jerry did not like the fact that they use "inflatables" for dive boats.
Did not bother me in the least and I am the one who invariably has the most difficulty getting back into the boat. If you are unfamilar with the Pedernales, it is right off the coast and a short 10 minute ride, so comfort is not a huge factor.
On the dive itself, there were the 3 of us, the instructor and another diver who apparently was participating in the dive to practice clearing "his" ears. Total 100% of the dive instructor's undivided attention was on C.
C. would undoubtedly tell you it was amazing and shockingly beautiful. When persuaded for a comment she says, "Really there are no words to describe it. There were so many fish." Mom just thinks it is cool that a 11 year old has so many experiences that she and her husband never dreamed of at their daughter's young age.
