SCUBA DIVING

The Turks & Caicos is a diver's paradise

In addition to its gorgeous white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters, the Turks and Caicos Islands has the well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s best regions to dive.

Situated on an enormous underwater plateau, the Turks and Caicos is an archipelago comprising 40 islands and cays surrounded by the world’s third largest coral ecosystem. SCUBA divers gather from far and wide to explore its dramatic topographies - ranging from colorful, thriving reefs to the Caribbean’s most magnificent walls with sheer drop-offs of more than 7000ft.
