Why dive here
With 391+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, octopuses and seahorses - The Willaurie Wreck offers some of Andros's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Willaurie Wreck off Andros is one of those sites that just feels right for a relaxed dive. We’ve always found it a pleasant surprise, a relatively intact wreck sitting upright, which makes for easy navigation. You can fin past the stern, poking your head into the superstructure and often spotting a big grouper or a school of grunts hanging out. It’s not a deep dive, making it suitable for newer wreck divers or those just wanting a longer bottom time without the pressure. The corals are slowly reclaiming it, creating little pockets for lobsters and plenty of small reef fish.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
