Why dive here
With 391+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, octopuses and seahorses - Sand Chute offers some of Andros's richest diving. Water ranges 24-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sand Chute in Andros is exactly what it sounds like: a gentle slope of white sand spilling down into deeper water. It’s a quieter dive, perfect for spotting smaller critters like garden eels popping out of the sand, or stingrays gliding along the bottom. We’d suggest this one for photographers looking for macro subjects, or divers who prefer a relaxed pace away from stronger currents.
