Plongée à Andros Blue Holes — Bahamas

Andros hosts over 175 blue holes — more than anywhere else on Earth — plus the third-largest barrier reef. The inland blue holes plunge into cathedral-sized caverns with stalactites and unique cave fauna, while the offshore reef wall is one of the Caribbean's most dramatic. Vastly underrated and wonderfully empty.
