Why dive here
With 391+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, octopuses and seahorses - BBC Wreck offers some of Andros's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
The BBC Wreck in Andros isn't one of those massive freighters you can get lost in, but it’s a lovely little structure, definitely worth a dive. We've seen it described as a tugboat, though it feels a bit bigger than that once you're down there. It sits upright, mostly intact, on a sandy bottom, which makes for easy navigation. You'll find plenty of grunts and snapper schooling around the hull, and often a big Nassau grouper or two lurking in the shadows. It’s a nice, relaxed dive, not too deep, perfect for a second dip of the day, or if you're keen to spend some time exploring a smaller wreck without any strong currents pushing you about.
