Snorkeling
& Scuba Diving
Excellent
visibility, pristine reefs, abundant tropical
flora and fauna, fish and other marine life, quality
diving services and easy conditions make the Turks
and Caicos Islands a world class dive destination.
World famous walls are lushly landscaped in rich
marine decor and play host to a tremendous variety
of sea creatures. Shipwrecks, old and new further
enhance these islands as an outstanding diving
destination.
Turks and Caicos has assured that for generations
to come, divers will be able to enjoy this underwater
wonderland. A series of marine parks and nature
reserves have been set aside to protect these
beautiful and fragile areas. A system of moorings
is in place which protect the reef from anchoring
damage at popular dive sites.
From late December through April, the entire Atlantic
herd of 2,500 Humpback Whales pass through the
shores on their annual migration to the Mouchoir
Bank, just 20 - 30 miles southeast. During this
period divers can listen to an underwater concert
of the whale's' songs.
