Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Mangel Halto Reef
Mangel Halto Reef is exciting in that you practically walk on the water out to the reef edge before putting on your fins. There are two entries for this dive: one from a large sunning beach, and the other just North off the main road.
A 100m South of the Southern 1A 4A intersection, turn West for 300m. Then turn left for 1km passing over the Spanish Lagoon. Turn right and wind your way for about 1km. You'll see the entrances on your right.

I live in Aruba and while I have only been certified for 6 months I have dived over 100 times, most of that is around the Mangel Halto area. Within a 5 min drive of the beach there are multiple entry points some good for intermediate and advanced. As the current can get quite strong I would say you need to be a strong swimmer. This stretch of the coast line is great for drift dives, if you get yourself a good instructor there are so many places to go that are not on this site. Night dives are about 30% of my dives so far, so far all on this reef area. Here is a link to a video I did from some diving we did in the last week of May. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWwNRKQ097w
