A relaxed leeward-side site with shallow wreck scatter and good visibility, best for divers who want easy profiles and a compact airplane-remains circuit.
About Arashi Airplane Wreck
Arashi Airplane Wreck is the wreck-focused variant of the Arashi area, where the scattered remains of a sunk aircraft sit among shallow reef structure on Aruba's leeward northwest side. The site keeps an easy recreational profile, but the appeal is different from a broad coral garden: divers come for clear water, compact airplane pieces, and frequent sightings of turtles, reef fish, and rays around the wreck scatter and nearby coral heads.
