Turks and Caicos Diving

 
The Turks and Caicos Islands are surrounded by one of the most extensive coral reef systems worldwide (65mi/104km across and 200mi/320km long).

Excellent visibility (up to 200ft/60m), unspoiled reefs, abundant marine life and quality diving services make the Turks and Caicos Islands an award-winning diving destination. There is exceptional wall-diving starting in shallow water and dropping off into the deep. Relatively close to the beach, the reef makes beach dives possible. Shipwrecks, old and new can be dived upon.

Under the National Parks Ordinance, large areas have been set aside as marine parks and fisheries reserves. Mooring buoys have been established at all dive sites to avoid any possible anchor damage. Divers visiting Turks and Caicos are encouraged to observe, respect an enjoy the natural beauty of the marine environment and to leave the reef as healthy as they found it.
