Renaissance Island, Two Submerged Planes
Just in front of the Renaissance Island are two submerged planes that make an interesting dive site. The reef widens and improves again from here to the harbor exit of Oranjestad. Past that is the harbor reef, with clear waters and an abundance of extremely high soft corals. Sometimes it feels as if you are swimming in the woods with strange trees all around. At the foot of this reef lies a tugboat, about 80 feet deep, that is the home of two giant green murenes.
