My husband has decided that he wants to buy a dive mask instead of rent. We leave in 2 days so internet ordering is not an option. We don't really have a good dive shop nearby. When we get to Aruba is there a good place with reasonable prices to buy masks rather than just rent?

WINDIES watersports located near the LAQUINTA timeshares perpendicular to eagle beach.

Unique Watersports has a shop, or at least they used to........location on the beach near the RIU.

They have them at sporting goods stores. I paid about 50 for mask fins and snorkel. Not scuba quality but good enough for the snorkeling I did.

I recently saw a store in the shops beside Renaissance Marina that sells water sports gear. We didn't go in, so I'm not sure if they carry diving equipment.

Red Sail Sports sells equipment. They have shops around the island including at the Hyatt and Marriott.

Windies would be my suggestion, the red sail shop downtown would be my second choice.

We bought ours at AquaWindies so that would be my vote. They are very nice and take a lot of time with you when you shop there. When we go back we usually rent fins from them as well.
