One look at the geography of the Turcs and Caicos Islands, and it's no wonder this place is wall diving central. Two chains of Islands- the Turcs and Caicos- are perched atop a shallow bank, seperated by a trench like channel. Depths off shore approach 6000 feet with 50 to 150 feet of visibility, and this meeting place of deep and shallow means huge sponges, healthy corals, seahorses, neck crabs, wine coral shrimp, blennies, dense concentrations of life, and the occasional encounter with out of the ordinary pelagics.

Type of diving: at anchor
Number of spots: 20
Depth: between 6 and 30 meters (20 to 99 feet)

Boat: 2 42-feet catamarans with a capacity of 46 divers.
Each boat is equiped with a sun deck, showers and bathrooms.
