About Star Gerren
Star Gerren is Aruba's side-lying wreck on the northwest coast, reached by boat with a local operator and best for certified divers who want a quieter wreck day. The hull sits over sand with open swim-throughs and an exposed propeller, so the dive is about careful trim, simple route-finding, and keeping the overhead bits honest. In calm water it feels roomy and readable, but it still rewards tidy buoyancy and a measured pace.
