Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Shallow Reef

Shallow Reef is a relatively unknown site at the far North Western corner of Aruba. Just a kilometer away, the surf is pounding the North East coast, which is very pretty just to sit and watch during off-gassing. This site offers easy entry for both snorkelers and those advanced divers who wish to explore further out. Be careful of the currents here, since the site is so close to the tip of the islands. Head to the North part of the island. About 2.3 km North of the Northern 1B 2B intersection, you'll see several dirt turn-offs to the shore. You'll see the reef; hunt around a little for the landmarks below.

We have seen sea turtles in morning before 9 am, and lots of surgeon fish. Watch out for the urchins as there are quit a few. Their spines stick out of cracks in rocks. We saw a pair of morays, Brown and yellow. The best area is just straight out from light house.
