Tuna Alley - Andros
Tuna Alley is a classic Andros dive, a narrow cut through the reef that drops to a sandy bottom. We often find schools of jacks and grouper patrolling the channel, looking for a meal. It's an easy drift dive, great for less experienced divers or anyone wanting a relaxed tour of the reef's edge. Keep an eye out for nurse sharks tucked under the overhangs.
