For those experienced Aruba travelers, do you prefer to rent snorkle gear or bring your own from home? I have excellent gear but wonder if it is worth the space in my suit case! Are there any rental places close to the Ocean Club?

Thanks,
Surfdad

Mask and snorkel shouldn't take up much space, the only issue is the fins. I always bring my own, then again, I also bring my dive gear.

We rented from Aruba Watersports on the beach between the Radisson and Occidental, within walking distance of the Marriott and did not have any issues. They even had a wetsuit to fit our then 10 yo.

We rent from Red Sail Sports kiosk right between the Stellaris and the Ocean Club. It's cheaper, of course, by the week. The gear is clean and typical rental quality, but we've never had any problems with them.
