About this site
Baby Beach Reef is a shore dive on Aruba that leads out into the open sea. Large formations of elkhorn coral, together with sheet coral, make it a perfect place for crabs, octopus and lobsters.
The dive can be challenging, but it is considered totally worth it, and divers get a view of the telephone cable that runs between Aruba and Venezuela.
