Question Andros, Bahamas

[Jake 10]

I did Eleuthera and Exuma 2021 and really enjoyed it.

Which local operator? You stay at a hotel or BaB? Reef? Live Aboard? Can you please share more specifics? @mcohen1021

Aggressor, was awesome!

@mcohen1021 and the reefs?

 

[mcohen1021]

Pretty much everywhere in the Caribbean has dying sick reef, but overall it was pretty good,. I have a lot of other places I want to go the trip was very fun , or I would do it again

AFAIK neither the Aggressor or any of the All Star boats (eg Aquacat) go to Andros, they seem to stick to Exuma and Eleuthera, except for the Aggressor Tiger Beach trips. (When we did a 2 week extended trip on the Aquacat years ago, they went further southeast to like Cat, San Salvador, maybe Long island - not to Andros.) So is the reason dive quality (or lack thereof) or something else?

 

[Jake 10]

Dive quality. I've been told Andros is a healthy eco system, but is not what I read on the reports and blogs.

Yeah that was sort of a rhetorical question, I assume it’s simply not worth their time. Of the places they do dive, even many of those spots the reefs are toast. There’s a few spots with very nice coral, though the usual reef critter suspects and small fish seem generally scarce, perhaps due to the big lionfish. Decent schools of larger fish sometimes, and of course sharks all over the place. They’re good at making the most of what’s there.
