A: I don't think there will be a big disaster because it won't be that big. If it is, we'd have to put up with it. If by chance we are still alive.
Q: Are you afraid?
A: No, no no, no. I'm not afraid for material things. I'm afraid of God. That's the only thing I have a certain respect for.

STORYLINE:
Hurricane Felix gathered strength early on Sunday and became a Category 2 hurricane, the US National Hurricane Centre said, adding it was forecast later in the day to pass just north of the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.
The storm was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane on Saturday evening, becoming the second Atlantic hurricane of the season.
It had sustained maximum winds of about 100 miles per hour (160 kilometres per hour) early on Sunday.
A tropical storm warning and hurricane watch were in effect for Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.
At 0800 am EDT (1200 GMT), Felix was centered about 95 kilometres (60 miles)
northeast of Aruba and was moving northwest at about 30 kph (18 mph), the hurricane center said.
Felix has changed direction constantly since nightfall and is wobbling as it makes progress across the Caribbean, making its impact hard to predict, according to Curacao Lieutenant Governor Lizanne Richards-Dindial.
On Aruba all flights out of its main airport were stopped from 0600 local time (1000 GMT) on Sunday.
Felix, the sixth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to continue strengthening over the next 24 hours.
Forecasters are predicting it will steadily expand in size.
Along the Pacific coast of Mexico, meanwhile, authorities discontinued storm warnings on Saturday as Tropical Storm Henriette moved out to sea.
Henriette dumped heavy rain on the region and at least six people were killed.
A teenager and her two brothers died when a landslide slammed into their house in a poor neighbourhood of the resort city of Acapulco.
The rains also loosened a giant boulder that smashed into a home in Acapulco, killing an adult and two children and injuring two other people.
With maximum sustained winds of 110 kilometres per hour (70 miles per hour), the storm was expected to become a hurricane on Sunday.
But forecasters put it on a path that would not threaten land until Thursday, when it could hit a remote section of the Baja California peninsula.

Hunting lionfish at Aruba Ports Authority and Boca Wiwi 22 12 2017
Two dives: morning dive at the Cruise terminal, afternoon at Boca Wiwi. We tried the other side of the cruise terminal where the reef island starts. Found some pockets of lionfish.
In the afternoon we went to the north side and did Boca Wiwi. This boca can be very tricky to exit because sometimes the currents drags you back to sea.

Diving the MS Antilla in Aruba
Abby and me diving the MS Antilla in Aruba. It was our 1st time Snuba-ing, and our 1st ever wreck dive. Very cool. Filmed with our GoPro camera.
-----------
The Antilla is World War II shipwreck off the coast of Aruba that is a popular snorkeling and scuba diving destination.
When Germany invaded the Netherlands on May 10, 1940, the relationship between the two nations was obviously strained. As part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this extended to Aruba.
The Antilla was a German U-boat supply ship that was anchored off the coast of Aruba at the time. When a contingent of Dutch Marines told the Antilla to surrender, the captain asked for an extension, and the Dutch accepted and gave the ship 24 hours to surrender.
The Antilla was fairly new at the time, and rather than see her turned over to the enemy, the captain decided to scuttle the ship. After putting the crew ashore, he heated up the boilers, which were amidships, and opened the seacock. When the cold sea water hit the hot boilers, they exploded, ripping the ship in half. It sank in eight minutes.
At 400 feet long, the Antilla is one of the Caribbean's largest shipwrecks. It lies on its port side at a maximum depth of 55 feet, though it can readily be seen from the surface. Its location is approximately N 12.60175 W 070.05815.

Special thanks to our divemaster Bart from De Palm Tours, who was most excellent, and also provided us with some of the footage.
Aruba Scuba Diving- Star Gerren 2013
Going scuba diving down in Aruba at the ship wreck Star Gerren. The Star Gerren is a german vessel that was sunk on August 31, 2000 to become a man made reef for scuba divers.
This was my first live entry dive. As you can see half way through the video we find the dive line just hanging around with the stern of the ship. This was my 8th open water dive.
Interesting moments:

Aruba: One Happy Island
After a few days in Turks & Caicos, we headed to Aruba for two & a half days! Gary's parents have a timeshare there and let us crash with them (thank you, Mr. & Mrs. E!) This was the second trip to Aruba for the both of us and we loved the island just as much as the first. We can definitely understand why it's called One Happy Island!

Aruba Shipwreck Snorkeling
I encountered a huge school of fish during a snorkeling excursion in Aruba.
I was the first in to the water and swam in the direction I was told I would find a shipwreck. The water was a little rough, and I nearly turned back after not seeing anything in the water at all. I finally realized that I had reached the site of the shipwreck when I went from seeing zero fish to what you see in the video. I was directly above the shipwreck.
