Requirements & Safety
For open water divers, certification is required. 
For intro courses (Discover Scuba), no prior certification is needed — everything is taught by professionals. 
Medical fitness is necessary (some conditions may restrict participation; diving after flying requires wait time). 
Pre-dive orientation and safety briefings are standard.
All dives are guided and supported by experienced dive masters/instructors. 
Dive operations are subject to weather and sea conditions; dives may be rescheduled for safety. 
 
Logistics & Booking
The meeting point is at the Aruba Watersports Center, located on the beach between the Hilton and Barcelo resorts in the Palm Beach / High-Rise area. 
Check-in usually begins a bit before scheduled dive departure for gear fitting and briefing.
Booking in advance is recommended to ensure availability, especially for multi-tank or specialty dives.
Once your booking and payment are confirmed, Aruba Watersports Center will coordinate your dive times and any necessary details. 
The dive center is officially a PADI Dive Center, with staff trained in PADI standards and operations.
