We all know that diving is one of the famous activities in Aruba. They say that most of the diving spots in the island are reefs and wrecks. I know there are plenty of wrecks in that place however, I want to know more about the Pedernales. Does anyone knows some information about this wreck?
The Pedernales wreck is actually an oil tanker of the German submarine during world war II. It is one of the tourist spots under the water. When you dive in this wreck, you would find lots of angel fishes. Actually these are all the information that I know. Why would you like to visit this wrecks?
How many wrecks are there in the island? What made the Pedernales wreck stand out from the rest of the wrecks in Aruba? I hope there would be additional information about it.
I'm quite sure there are other wrecks to be visited in Aruba especially that there cases that wrecks are actually used to support marine life like corals and others.
