We arrived on a rainy but warm morning. About 1000 we departed for the submarine ATLANTIS. We boarded the sub and dove to about 60 feet. We cruised around the barrier reef then proceeded to sites where two aircraft were deliberately sunk to make artifical reefs. We then moved out and dove to 130 feet and cruised for a bit viewing the bottom. We then surfaced very quickly and were returned to the ship's mooring place. We then went into town. Most of the town is comprised of tourist traps such as diamond stores, tanzanite stores, and designer name stores. We stopped at a place to get a beer where we were charged US$3.25 for an 8 ounce local beer! Aruba is not a place I would visit again.
