The couple on the left, Stephanie and Steven, are return visitors to Andros, they were here a few years ago volunteering at the Forfar Field Station, where they were immersed in the culture of the island and learned about the local flora and fauna, scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing and snorkeling

Diving: Tongue of the Ocean

One of our U.K. divers, Dave Goddard, gets an up close look at a friendly Hawksbill Turtle swimming by on Whip Wire Wall (Aka WWW).
The wall starts at 90ft and is a shear vertical drop down into a 6,000ft deep trench. WWW is just one section of what is called the Tongue of The Ocean, a 6,000ft trench that runs parallel with the entire coast of Andros Island, ending in a bowl.
