Spotted eagle rays make regular passes around the MV Andes, likely attracted by the bivalves and small crustaceans that colonise the sandy seabed surrounding the hull. Their wingspans often reach 1.5–2 metres, and lone individuals or pairs circle the wreck at mid-water depths of 8–12 metres. The predictability of these sightings makes the Andes one of Antigua's most reliable eagle ray encounters.
