Diving in Andros Island

Explore diving in Andros Island

With underwater formations including blue holes, caves, wrecks, pelagic-filled currents, the third largest barrier reef in the world and the incredibly deep Tongue of the Ocean, Andros has a wide range of dive sites to keep every diver interested.

Beginners will feel comfortable at many of the protected sites of the barrier reef. Advanced divers can explore the walls created by the Tongue of the Ocean as well as the blue holes. Currents in the area range from mild to strong so be sure to consult with a local dive professional before venturing out.

The ability level of the wrecks is based on preference. A few lie within shallow water but only advanced divers should attempt to penetrate the ships’ interiors.

When to dive in Andros Island

The Bahamas enjoys a hot and sunny climate year-round.

Water temperatures during the summer months (November to May) are around 88°F (31°C). In addition to great topside conditions, November to May is also the best time for shark diving. You’ll find the most Caribbean reef sharks from November-May.

June to October is low season on Andros, however, besides the sometimes stormy weather and the number of sharks present, diving in the Bahamas changes little from month to month.
