Red Sail Sports is the proud owner of two Pro 48 Rob Shirley dive boats named "Biba Bon" and "Pasa Bon" ("Live Well" and "Have a Good Time" in Papiamento, the native language). Equipped with 750 total horsepower, and measuring 48 feet from pulpit to dive platform, these sleek, fast new crafts have a comfortable 392 square feet of open deck space to accommodate up to 24 divers and 64 scuba tanks. The custom designed dive boat "Vista Mar" ("View of the Sea") is Red Sail Sports’ 40-foot dive boat. Designed in the United States for operation in the waters of Aruba, this boat can also comfortably accommodate up to 24 people and was designed with a diver’s needs and comfort in mind.
This German freighter was scuttled on May 10, 1940 when the Germans invaded Holland during World War II and is one of the largest wrecks in the Caribbean (400' long). Covered by tube sponges, coral formations and tropical fish.
A beginner's paradise offering a combination of large pieces of wreck spread out between coral formations. You can see sections of cabins, wash basins, etc. as well as a pipeline system that goes with this oil tanker that was torpedoed in 1942 during World War II by a German submarine.
Fascinating drop-off with giant boulders of brain & star coral. Also lots of massive formations of leaf and sheet corals. Excellent for drift diving.
