Debbie II Wreck
The Debbie II wreck, which was purposefully sunk in 1992 to serve as an artificial reef, is another popular dive site in Aruba. It was scuttled in 70 feet of water directly in front of high-rise hotels, making it extremely accessible for divers and a great dive site for a dive day.
As one of the best dive sites in Aruba, this reef is well-known for its massive lobsters and stingrays that take their daily "siesta" while waiting to be photographed. Giant barrel sponges in purple, orange, and green can be found all over the place. Nurse and reef sharks, possibly eagle rays, turtles, and a plethora of fish, including snapper, angelfish, grunts, anemones, and grouper, can all be found in and around the wreck.
What you'll see: The 120-foot fuel barge is covered in leaf and brain coral growths. There are sponge-covered areas and a few sea fans poking their way through the habitats. There are schools of fish, lobsters, rays, and turtles everywhere. If you like sea horses, you should keep an eye out for them at this dive site.
