Andros diving - enjoy distinctive feeling
Andros Island is home to an underwater world second-to-none and, as on the island itself, much of this territory is unexplored. The Andros Dive experience is one of diversity, ranging from shallow water, wreck and blue hole dives to dramatic wall dives off the 6,000 feet deep Tongue of the Ocean. Approximately 1-1and a half miles off the east coast is the island's major dive highlight, the Andros Barrier Reef, the world's third largest barrier reef. Below the surface of Andros Island is a complex maze of underwater caves called blue holes. Experienced recreational divers can enter from either the island or ocean entrances and can even retrace the steps of the famous Jacques Cousteau. Inland blue holes like The Little Frenchman, The Guardian, Captain Bill's Blue Hole and many others offer experienced divers a special thrill. There are hundreds of blue holes on Andros -- many of which are unexplored. Blue holes were originally caves that were flooded at the end of the last ice age, and exploration didn't even begin until the late 1950s. Twisting canyons, crevices and tunnels of blue hole underwater cave systems draw divers from around the world. At about 40 to 45 feet you find many varieties of coral, fans and fish. The more experienced diver can go deeper to find shells and cave systems at depths up to 130 feet. The Barge - Here in 60 feet of water divers will explore an aircraft landing barge that has been down for about thirty years. The Marion - Divers jump into the warm water and explore a construction barge and crane nearly 70 feet under the ocean. These wreck has been submerged for nearly fifteen years.
