Star Gerren

The Star Gerren, one of the best dive sites in Aruba, is another German cargo shipwreck that went down in 2000. It was originally known as the Santa Maria until 1994, when it was relocated to Belize City and suffered an engine failure. The wreck has grown to be 300 feet long and is now upside down in 63 feet of water. This wreck will appeal to both experienced and inexperienced divers, as there is plenty to see from the surface as well as deeper down. It is a less well-known shipwreck than Antilla and receives fewer visitors.

What you'll see: The Star Gerren, like many other wrecks around Aruba, has attracted a diverse range of fish species. There are schools of barracuda to be seen, as well as a variety of reef fish hiding in the ship's skeleton. The upside-down hull creates a cave-like environment for dark-dwelling creatures, which can be seen using a torch.
