I have a possible job opportunity to move to Andros Island and I wanted to know if they have any decent shore diving on the island. Having to hire a boat to take me out every couple days to dive could get prohibitively expensive.
Interesting first post. Would you be working at AUTEC? If you're going to be there, they may still have a dive club and boats for use (it's been a few years since I was there, things may have changed).
IMO, yes, you can shore dive on Andros but your success will probably depend heavily on where you are -- it's a big series of islands. Many areas are inaccessible. I found that near Fresh Creek you pretty much need a boat because the main part of the reef is fairly far off shore.
I just applied for the position. I don't know the name but it does require secret clearance. Not sure I can afford a boat. I heard the main reef is about a quarter mile from the shore, so maybe I can get something smallish.

Yeah, that would be AUTEC.
Don't worry about a boat. Not yet, at least. The main reef is quite far off shore but you may have access to a boat when you're there. PM me if you have any other questions.
