This dive site is located off Kralendijk, heading north towards Sabadeco and Crown Island. The area features two distinctive yellow stones marking the locations of Andrea I and Andrea II. Access to the dive site is via a small path between the corals, offering a navigable route back to the mooring. Andrea I is considered a worthwhile exploration, often hosting unusual marine life such as Spanish Lobsters, Cornetfish, and Tiger tail sea cucumbers. It’s also a prime spot for discovering juvenile fish like Smooth Trunkfish and Spotted Drum. Snorkeling opportunities abound; turtles frequently inhabit the shallows, alongside large schools of Blue Tangs. The site provides some shade beneath trees, making it suitable for enjoying a picnic lunch. The dive area is relatively easy to navigate.
