Explore the Clear Blue Seas
With the world's third-largest reef system and undersea visibility that extends impossibly far, it would be a mistake not to explore the ocean by scuba tank or snorkel. Strap on your fins and discover amazing snorkeling right from the beach. Our highlights:
Coral Gardens. A protected reef rests just beyond the shoreline where you'll see brightly colored reef fish, turtle grass beds and sometimes small sharks and rays. Smith's Reef. Look for eagle rays, parrot fish, striking hard and soft coral, trumpet fish, anemones, green morays and the elusive Queen Angelfish.
Caicos Adventures. Turks and Caicos are without a doubt one of the best places for scuba diving and Caicos Adventures is one of the oldest and most trusted in the area. The water is teeming with life and you'll see colors that can only be found in the deep Atlantic. A couple of highlights include the sight of eagle rays gliding through the water and the opportunity to "drop" into the deep blue. Dives are scheduled daily with hour intervals.
