About Giant Staircase

The Giant Staircase is a unique scuba diving site located in Andros Island, known for its remarkable coral features that descend down a large wall. The wall is adorned with a variety of marine growth, including sponges and corals, adding to the visual appeal of the dive. The wall also houses several ledges, which are home to a variety of small invertebrates. The maximum depth of the dive is approximately 24 meters, with an approximate maximum visibility of 30 meters.

In addition to the small invertebrates, the Giant Staircase is also home to a variety of larger marine life. Divers can expect to encounter sharks, rays, turtles, and eels during their dive. Despite the presence of these larger species, the dive is recommended for beginners due to its relatively shallow depth and clear visibility. The primary characteristic of the site is the wall, which provides a unique and engaging backdrop for the dive.
