SPONGE REEF
Aruba
Sponge Reef lives up to her name. The reef is covered with soft corals, varying from the orange elephant sponges to the purple and yellow tube sponges. You'll see the largest and most interesting leaf and plate coral formations you can imagine. Here and there, in the midst of this colorful splendor, you'll can spot parrot fish and turtles.
Particulars
Sponge Reef is a boat dive site off the cost of Renaissance Island. Enter the water and descend. You will make a relatively shallow dive over a beautiful, densely overgrown reef that is also visited by parrot fish and turtles.
Warnings
Sponge Reef has few dangers. The use of a surface buoy is recommended on Aruba.
