Andros Island, Bahamas
From the air, Andros Island looks like someone sprayed it with a machine gun, riddling the island with holes, Chicago gangland style. In the Southern Bight of this Bahamian island, you'll find a series of oceanic versions of blue holes. These caverns and caves reach deep into the dark shadows of the earth, mixing fresh and salt water. In the light that surrounds these entrances to the blue netherworld, life gathers in battalions. In about 20 feet of water, coral gardens form a ring around the holes. There, dozens of stingrays frolic; swarms of French grunts and lumbering Caribbean reef sharks amble past; schools of jacks swirl and circle over the entrances; and barracuda hover over the scene. From the Seascape Inn, it's only three miles to the Southern Bight, and you never know what you'll see next. seascapeinn.com
