List of dive spots at Mermaid Divers. It appears we took no pictures of the actual diving today. Our first dive was the Jane Sea Wreck, a 90 foot dive in heavy current. The wreck was approached from the bow. The wreck was 200' long, but the current was much to swift and dangerous to dive toward the stern. This was our first wreck to dive, and unfortunately Denny had weight issues and did not get to see the Jane Sea. Dive Master Albert was Ginny's buddy for the dive. The second dive was to Tire Reef, a drift dive of about 60 feet, with good visibility. We played with an octopus caught by the Dive Master, Bero. We saw lots of groupers, lots of brain and feather coral.

The California Lighthouse is a lighthouse located near Arashi Beach on the northwest tip of Aruba. This lighthouse was named for the steamship California, which wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.
