Hello!!

After reading many of these posts I must say I'm realllly excited to go to Aruba! Especially when it will probably be snowing in my home town, haha

Any tips or advice for a first timer? Anything inparticular I should pack? Certain places that are a MUST SEE? We are staying at the Divi All inclusive..cant wait!! any suggestions are welcome.

hi welcome to the aruba.com community forum
check this link.
http://www.aruba.com/ThingstoDo/activities.aspx

also too on this forum, go to the activities/sports categories and read on.

you may enjoy jolly pirates snorkel cruise for a lively fun time.
or a quieter less lively snorkel sail maybe try tranquilo or octopus.

there are a few shore snorkel spots....baby beach, catalina cove.

take lots of time and surf around this forum.
