Why Turks and Caicos
Two words: the walls. The islands sit on the edge of an underwater plateau, so the reef runs out to a lip and then drops straight down for thousands of feet. You hover on the edge with coral on one side and open blue on the other, and the big animals cruise right past.
A liveaboard (a dive boat you live on for the week) is the way to dive it. No day-boat commute and no hauling gear. Your kit stays set up, the next site is under the boat, and meals, snacks and drinks are covered when you surface.
What You’ll Dive
- Vertical walls: the signature Turks and Caicos dive, and you will do it day after day.
- Reef sharks: Caribbean reef sharks patrol the wall edge, and nurse sharks turn up on the night dive at French Cay.
- Sea turtles and eagle rays: watch the blue as well as the reef.
- Coral reefs: packed with colorful reef fish for the long, easy dives between wall drops.
- The route: Northwest Point of Providenciales, West Caicos and French Cay, weather permitting.
- Conditions: July water runs about 82 to 84°F with visibility commonly 50 to 100 feet.
- Volume: 5½ days of diving with up to 5 dives a day. Dive them all or skip one for the sun deck.
