I just returned from 8 days in Aruba........ this is a small slice of paradise.
I've taken my a6300 under water with a super cheap housing a few times now. Always with exceptionally poor results. I'm not blaming the housing mind you, poor dive skills and poor eye sight have a lot to do with it.
Anyway, I finally got a GoPro to make life underwater easier. White the quality might not be up to pixel-peeping standards, I thought this shot was kind of fun.

The California Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on the northwest tip of Aruba.
This lighthouse was named for the steamship California, which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.
The lighthouse has completed a recent restoration in May 2016 which coincided with the 100th anniversary of the completion of the lighthouse.
Immediately adjacent to the lighthouse is a restaurant called La Trattoria el Faro Blanco (English: The White Lighthouse Restaurant), and also nearby is the Tierra del Sol Resort, Spa & Country Club.
The terrain is moon-like with sharp rocks sticking out of the ground, making it difficult for people to walk on without sturdy footwear.

Hooiberg (Dutch for Haystack), is a 541-foot high volcanic formation located in the center of Aruba. The solitary peak is easy to see from virtually anywhere on the island.
The Haystack is often mistakenly said to be the tallest point on Aruba, but Mount Jamanota in Arikok National Park is actually taller.

This photograph was taken during our stay on the Caribbean island of Bonaire in 2009. Playa Chikitu. Quote from a website:
A visit to Washington-Slagbaai National Park is not complete without a stop at beautiful Playa Chikitu. An idyllic cove on the windward side of the island, dangerous rip tides and treacherous undertows exist and NO swimming is allowed. The beach is remarkable as it is the only site with true sand dunes on Bonaire and sea turtles regularly nest there.

Koningin Julianabrug is a four lane road bridge across St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, the capital of Caribbean island country Curaçao, which is part of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. The bridge is named after Juliana of the Netherlands. While under construction the eastern part of the bridge collapsed in 1967 killing fifteen workers, and got replaced. The current bridge opened on Queen's Day, 30 April 1974.
Reaching a height of 56.4 metres (185 feet) above the water at its apex (to accommodate ships entering the narrow harbour), it weighs 3,400 tons. The view from the apex includes the entire panorama of Punda, Otrobanda, and the Schottegat and is one of the highest vantage points on the island.
The Queen Juliana bridge was constructed to allow automobile traffic to cross from Punda to Otrobanda. Once the Queen Juliana bridge was completed, the Queen Emma Bridge was closed to traffic and open only to pedestrians.
