Andros may be the largest island in the Bahamas, yet it is the most sparsely developed. It boasts exceptional natural surroundings where you'll find the world’s third-largest fringing barrier reef, mesmerizing blue holes, the mile-deep abyss known as the Tongue of the Ocean and numerous species of flora and fauna.
WHY WE LOVE DIVING IN ANDROS
Andros has wrecks, blue holes and spectacular wall dives off the deep Tongue of the Ocean.
ANDROS ISLAND GALLERY
Diving in Andros
The Andros dive experience ranges from shallow water, wreck and blue-hole dives to dramatic wall dives off the 6,000-feet-deep Tongue of the Ocean. About 1-1½ miles off the east coast of Andros sits the Andros Barrier Reef, the world’s third-largest fringing barrier reef, measuring 190 miles long and home to more than 160 species of coral and fish.
Divers will find endless fascination entering the blue holes found all over the island, legendary sites where you can peer into the lair of the Lucsa (a mythical blue-hole dwelling monster) or see the holes “breathe” as water flows in and out with the tides. (bahama.com)
