Andros There’s a reason the first ever dive resort, Small Hope Bay, in the Caribbean was on the island of Andros in The Bahamas. This is a raw, untouched destination seemingly designed for adventurous divers drawn to its Andros Barrier Reef, the second largest reef system in the Atlantic Ocean. There’s a diverse mix of scuba diving options, from blue holes to wrecks to shark observation dives. And Andros is filled with great dive lodges, from the aforementioned Small Hope Bay to the lovely Swains Cay Lodge.
