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?

You know, sometimes I don't get it. Why would people want to dive in wrecks? :confused:

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.

Oh, I see. I never knew that they're good for supporting marine life in waters. Maybe that's why there are many coral reefs at wrecks.

Or maybe... Because of the coral reefs that have been there? Wrecks are good for them aren't they?

hi takate....yeah its true wrecks becomes the sanctuary of marine life... coral reefs mostly existed in wrecks..

I had no idea that there were that many wrecks near Aruba. Are the wrecks old or recent ones? I see why they would have become so popular with divers. Left alone, the wrecks can become like an underwater museum full of history and maybe even a whole ecosystem.
