Andros Island - Amphitheatre - Andros
The Amphitheatre on Andros offers a shallow dive, generally less than 15 meters, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You'll find a gently sloping reef with plenty of nooks and crannies where nurse sharks often snooze. Keep an eye out for resident green sea turtles munching on seagrass, particularly in the mornings. It’s a site that rewards slow exploration, rather than dramatic drops.
