Looking for a two tank dive in Aruba? Red Sail Sports Aruba offers boat-based scuba diving excursions for certified divers who want to explore the island's underwater world.
With one and two tank options available, divers can discover Aruba's offshore reefs, coral formations and marine life, including moray eels, stingrays, barracudas and colorful reef fish.
The advertised excursion lasts approximately four hours, with tanks, weights, water and fresh fruit included. Other scuba equipment is available to rent for an additional charge.
The booking page displays prices starting at $23.05, but this should not be treated as the confirmed price of a complete two tank dive. Your final cost depends on the dive option and any equipment rental you need.
Here's what to know before booking with Red Sail Sports Aruba.
The Red Sail Sports scuba excursion takes certified divers by boat to offshore diving locations around Aruba.
You can select a one or two tank diving experience, depending on the available departure options.
A two tank dive generally means completing two separate underwater dives during the excursion, using a fresh scuba tank for each dive.
This gives certified divers more opportunities to explore underwater environments than a single dive.
The Red Sail experience includes:
The experience is designed for certified divers, not travelers looking for their first scuba lesson.
One of the most important decisions is whether to book a single dive or a two tank excursion.
Both options allow you to explore Aruba's underwater scenery, but they suit different preferences.
| Feature | One Tank Dive | Two Tank Dive |
|---|---|---|
| Number of dives | One | Two |
| Scuba tanks | One | Two |
| Underwater exploration | One dive session | Two dive sessions |
| Best for | Divers wanting a shorter diving experience | Divers wanting more underwater time |
| Junior divers aged 10–11 | Afternoon option available | Not permitted on morning two tank dives |
| Certification | Required | Required |
Is a Two Tank Dive Worth It?
For certified divers who want to make the most of their time underwater, a two tank dive can be a great choice.
Instead of returning after a single dive, you have the opportunity to complete a second dive during the excursion.
It's particularly appealing to visitors who enjoy underwater photography, reef exploration and discovering different marine environments.
A one tank dive may be more suitable if you prefer a shorter experience or are returning to diving after some time away.
Aruba's waters are home to coral reefs, tropical fish and a variety of marine animals.
The Red Sail Sports excursion focuses on exploring offshore underwater environments.
Depending on the dive location and conditions, you may encounter several interesting species.
Moray Eels
Moray eels are among the fascinating animals found around Caribbean reefs.
They often shelter in rocky crevices and coral formations, occasionally showing their heads from hiding places.
Spotting one can be a memorable moment during a reef dive.
Stingrays
Stingrays can sometimes be seen gliding over sandy areas near reefs.
Their graceful movement makes them a favorite subject for underwater photography.
Barracudas and Reef Fish
Barracudas, yellowtail and other reef fish are among the marine species associated with Aruba's underwater environment.
Schools of fish, coral structures and changes in underwater terrain add variety to the diving experience.
Can You See Manta Rays?
Manta rays are named in the tour description.
A manta is a lucky sighting, not a promised one. What you see depends on the site, the season, and the water that day.
Red Sail Sports takes guests by boat to selected offshore dive sites.
Aruba has a variety of underwater environments, including coral reefs, rocky formations and shipwrecks.
The boat's sites follow the day's schedule and the sea.
If you want a specific wreck, ask which sites are on that departure.
Is the Antilla Shipwreck Included?
The SS Antilla is one of Aruba's best-known wreck diving attractions.
This Red Sail Sports excursion does not name the Antilla as a set stop.
If a wreck dive is the reason you are booking, choose a trip that names the wreck.
The booking page displays a starting price of $23.05, but it's important to distinguish that advertised minimum from the price of a complete scuba excursion.
The tour offers different diving options, and equipment rental costs extra.
| Item | Price or inclusion |
|---|---|
| Advertised starting price | From $23.05 |
| One tank dive | Check selected booking option |
| Two tank dive | Check selected booking option |
| Scuba tank | Included |
| Weights and weight belt | Included |
| Additional dive equipment rental | Extra |
| Water | Included |
| Fresh fruit | Included |
| Hotel transfers | Not included |
| Gratuities | Not included |
Before booking: Select the actual one or two tank dive option and review the final price, including any equipment you need to rent.
This is particularly important when comparing Red Sail Sports Aruba prices with other dive operators.
Is Scuba Equipment Included?
The booking includes:
Other scuba equipment is available for an additional rental fee.
If you're traveling without your own equipment, factor the rental cost into your budget.
Yes. All participants must show a valid scuba certification card.
The operator also requires divers to have completed a dive within the previous two years.
This makes the experience different from a beginner discovery dive, where travelers can try scuba diving under direct supervision without holding a full certification.
Can Beginners Book This Tour?
If you've never been scuba diving and don't have certification, this isn't the right excursion.
Instead, look for an Aruba introductory scuba diving experience designed for first-time participants.
What If You Haven't Dived in Two Years?
Red Sail Sports requires participants to have been diving within the past two years.
If your last dive was longer ago, call +297 587 2619 about a refresher before you book.
Junior divers have specific restrictions.
Children aged 10 and 11 cannot participate in the morning two tank dives, because their diving depth is limited to 40 feet.
Junior divers in this age group are welcome on the afternoon one tank dive when they are certified.
Families traveling with certified junior divers should choose the afternoon one-tank boat.
Scuba diving requires proper training, equipment and attention to underwater conditions.
Red Sail Sports requires certification and recent diving experience.
All participants are also subject to medical clearance and may need to complete a medical questionnaire.
The excursion is not recommended for:
A moderate level of physical fitness is recommended.
Stay with the dive team's plan, and dive within your certification and your air.
The advertised duration is approximately four hours.
This includes the boat excursion and diving activities.
Time underwater depends on the one-tank or two-tank choice, the depth, your air, and the sea.
Give yourself time to reach the pier and set up before the boat leaves.
Does Red Sail Include Hotel Pickup?
No. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
You'll need to arrange transportation to the Red Sail Sports departure location.
The confirmation lists the meeting point and the check-in time.
For a comfortable scuba diving excursion in Aruba, consider bringing:
Water and fresh fruit are included during the excursion.
Can You Dive and Fly on the Same Day?
Scuba divers need to allow sufficient time between diving and flying because of decompression sickness risk.
Common recreational diving guidance recommends waiting at least 12 hours after a single no-decompression dive and at least 18 hours after multiple dives, with longer intervals appropriate in some circumstances.
Plan conservatively and follow your dive computer, training agency and operator's guidance.
If you're flying home soon, consider scheduling your scuba excursion earlier in your Aruba vacation.
