About Pedernales Wreck E94W
Pedernales Wreck is a shallow shore dive on Aruba’s west coast, where the tanker’s damaged midsection now sits as an easy wreck and reef-fish site. The wreck is spread across the bottom in pieces, so it rewards a slow swim over the structure rather than a technical profile. It’s a good fit for beginners, photographers and snorkelers on a calm day.
