This was an amazing time. Our guide was Benjamin and did a fantastic job. We approached this with some trepidation because we had never done something like this before, but he put our mind at ease and explained how easy it was. He wasn’t kidding, it was very easy and easy to learn very quickly. Even though you’re in very deep water, the sea Bob is a flotation device at all times so there is that extra sense of security.
Benjamin went out of his way to show us many things. We went to the reef first and saw our first turtles and stingrays. After that we headed to the shipwreck, which was very incredible.
The confusing part was the website wanted you to Choose a pick up location. We had a car so we wanted to show up at the tour location. There Was no option in the drop-down menu to allow you to report that you wanted to show up on site. Fortunately, we were able to call the company and they let us know to just show up at Arashi Beach shack. We did not realize that you walk out from the beach into the water.
Our guide explained to us that the only thing you needed to bring where your arms and legs. He wasn’t kidding. There’s no need to bring anything else. This was a great way to snorkel. I will definitely do it again.

Tour guide was excellent. He caught small fish by hand and fed them to the people friendly pelican and other birds; took us to the shipwreck and gave us the history; took us to sea turtles; etc.

Overall we had a good time but we’re disappointed in how little time was spend at the wreck. You do a beach entry with your Seabob. It is a long way out to the wreck. A good 5-10m to get there. Unless you have good upper body/ arm strength , this can be tiring. The seabobs are easy to use one you get the hang of it. Pay attention when they explain use. They go through it quickly.
Timing. As I noted we spent only a couple minutes at the wreck. I believe this was bc a person in our group was panicking when we arrived at the wreck. We barely had a chance to dive down to take a look before we left. It was a bit rough water getting to it and your arms and pectoral muscle could be burning. She wanted to return to shore and kept insisting she could not do it. Bc only 1 guide was with us, that could not happen. I believe he brought us back in towards the shore and calmer waters bc of her. There was more coral and fish near the shore. Lovely but again shuttle through very quickly. In the shallows, nice to run the seabob 1-2ft below the surface, shorten up on it. Then it is easy to look at things and take pictures.
Notes: you are given a mask but no snorkle. They claim it is bc the get water in them. That could be true, but an experience snorkler or diver would be fine. And they would be helpful in the shallows. I think this is bc the company would have to sterilize between users. I noted the guide was wearing one. Bring towels and make sure to wear a shirt or use water proof sunscreen. Take an underwater camera. It will take some getting used to but you can take pictures.
Suggestions — offer a snorkle for experienced folks. Have a few near sighted mask for customers to use that wear glasses. Would make it nicer for them to see everything. Also get a tube of silicone grease for folks with mustache or beard so they can seal the mask better. A second guide to bring up the rear would be invaluable. Especially when a person in the group wants to return to shore.

The waters were so clear. I enjoyed getting in the ocean and diving almost immediately after the briefing. The Antilles wreck was so visible. The Seabob made diving easy and enjoyable. Then we moved on to looking at the sea life. Again most enjoyable. Anyone who likes diving should go on this tour.

I absolutely had a blast on the sea Bob
It’s a lot of fun I felt like a dolphin going in and out of the water
The shipwreck was really cool and seeing all the tropical fish was really great
Benjamin was my guy and he went over and above being a tour guide to make sure it was entertaining
The very best part was the pterodactyl looking birds diving into the water after fish, but being gentle enough to take a fish out of Benjamin‘s hands that he grabbed right out of the ocean phenomenal

The ability to travel so far and see so much in such a short time span...this beats snorkeling any day.

Amazing tour and guide! We saw the shipwreck, sea turtles, a sea spider, and much more. Our guide was an impressive diver and took our camera down to get better shots of the turtles.

We had a great time. Jose was our guide he was very patient while we got ourselves comfortable with water bobs. He took us to the shipwreck which was a spectacular sight. He dove in several places and showed us starfish, frog fish and giant turtles. We fed fish to the birds. Jose was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend the experience

Thank you Amina for your review of your “excellent experience on our Seabob Tour to the "Antillia" shipwreck. The Seabob water vehicles can cover an enormous amount of area on the water. As a result you get to see a large variety of Aruba’s underwater creatures plus feed the pelicans! Our Seabob Team is an impressive group of underwater experts. Mentioning Jose is greatly appreciated as he is one of the best on the water. Thank you again for your recommendation!
