Wreck of the Andes
About this Dive Site
Description
The Wreck of the Andes, a 19th-century merchant vessel, lies in the shallow, clear waters of Deep Bay on Antigua's south coast. This historical wreck has transformed into a thriving artificial reef, now home to barracuda, octopuses, and diverse coral species, with its mast still a prominent feature.
