my personal favorite is UNIQUE/Pelican.

Unique bought out pelican's scuba a few years ago and i think for the SCUBA end of the business they are using the name UNIQUE.

Pelican still has watersport activities and acts as tour operator on a much smaller scale than depalm.

hit the seach button and enter scuba-unique-red sail-pelican and you should come up with many threads.

I have used Clive from Dive Aruba a number of times,and also Used Red Sail last year.Dive Aruba is a very small company owned by the boat operated and dive master.Very small boat and only takes six divers.I'm using Red Sail this year only because I liked the dive schedule,just more convenient for me.Both in my opinion VERY GOOD.Enjoy you diving.

Hey buddy! I leave on the 24th, bummer! I will post the info on my dive so you can get some info if you have access to the internet while you are in Aruba! Who did you book with and what are you doing? Seems like you and your wife are well organized. We (my wife and myself) usually just do or plan things as we want. I guess it is hard to keep a schedule when you have a 5 year old and when you have a 2 year old. They kinda dictate our schedules for now.
