Shallow plane wrecks off Arashi Beach
Off Arashi Beach, on the north-western tip of Aruba, two small aircraft rest on the bottom: a Lockheed Lodestar and a twin-engine Beechcraft.
The wrecks lie in shallow water, so they are suitable for beginning divers, and on calm days even snorkellers can see them. The reef attracts parrotfish, angelfish and sea turtles.
