About Underdog Divers

Personal attention with small groups

Aruba is famous for big diving tours and crowded boat trips. We decided to be the opposite. We exist for small, personal and unique experiences.

We are a small team of passionate instructors who believe diving is a lifestyle, not a factory assembly line. When you dive with us, you’re diving with friends who know every crevice of the reef.

We prioritize safety , marine conservation , and good vibes . No rushing, no stress.

 Verified Great video
Ray was a great guide. He showed me to where the turtles were, shot video and took pictures, then edited and sent it to me. I have swam with turtles before but have never had a video shot of me with them. Amazing time.

 Verified Turtles, turtles, turtles!
Our guide, Ray, was so kind and knowledgeable! He made the experience truly a memorable one. We got to see the sea turtles and some other ocean creatures on our little adventure! We spent around an hour snorkeling and then after we were sent a little video of our adventure! I would recommend this experience a thousand times over!

 Verified Amazing experience and Alan was incredible.
Our tour guide, Alan, was amazing. He prepared us for the experience and was patient. He had us out there for almost 45 minutes. We saw multiple turtles and the experience exceeded our expectations. Alan ensured that the experience was curated to Mae for the best time possible. Highly recommend.

 Verified Unforgettable first dive
My dive yesterday with Alan was really great.From the first moment he put me at ease. He stayed calm the whole time, explained everything super clearly and step by step and constantly kept a close eye on how I was doing.Thanks to his patience and professionalism, I felt safe and could really enjoy my first diving experience. This is such a nice way to get acquainted with diving I would recommend it to everyone.Because of this experience I decided to go for my PADI. Couldn't have been better my first dive. Definitely recommended!

 Verified Turtle Adventure
Pauline was our guide and she was amazing... helpful, patient, attentive, knowledgeable, safety conscious, but above all knew exactly where to take us to see the turtles. It is a must do experience! It was truly thrilling to not only see the turtles but also to swim along side of them... captivating! 🐢🐢🐢

 Verified Great time swimming with the turtles
Alan was great. He safely got us in and out of the water, which was beautiful. Saw turtles immediately and for the entire trip. We saw plenty of other fish including an octopus. My family thoroughly enjoyed swimming with the turtles. Alan videotaped us with the turtles and other marine life. I highly recommend Underdog diving and Alan.
