Caution Snorkeling at Baby Beach
It is about a year ago that a tourist couple lost their lives while snorkeling at Baby Beach. PLEASE do not go outside of the opening at the mouth of Baby Beach.
When this couple lost their lives, I said to myself, "Why take the risk?" There are many other fabulous places in Aruba to snorkel or better yet, take a "Discover Scuba" course.

"START TRANSLATION
A touristic couple that arrived on Aruba yesterday and that were staying at the Marriott both drowned at Baby Beach after they went snorkeling.
According to information and some witnesses, they could see that the couple was having problems and jumped into the water to resque them.
At the onset, the man was having problems and his female partner went in to assist him, however this turned out to take a turn for the worse since she also drowned
The locals that were able to bring them to dry land tried to give them first aid assistance and mouth to mouth help while the police were on their way, however when the doctor arrived, he pronounced them both as passed away.
This is surely a great shock to the family of the deceased. The police took declarations from all of the witnesses as well as those that tried to rescue them. The DIARIO extends much strength for the family and friends of the deceased.
