Covering
193 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean,
Turks and Caicos Islands have the third
largest coral reef system in the world,
making it a premier diving and snorkeling
destination. The long barrier reef
protecting the islands is home to a colorful
wildlife and magnificent coral formation.
The Turks and Caicos host some of the best
dive sites one can find, making these
islands among the world’s top 10 diving
spots.
There
are numerous dive
companies on island each catering to
different experience levels. Once again, the
Villa Manager, as an avid diver, can guide
you in the right direction and make all your
bookings for you. There are also numerous
boat excursions to be had that don’t
involve diving but still get you out there
to experience the sun and spray.
Snorkeling is a great way to see some of the
spectacular reefs here. Also beach hopping
and sunset cruises are always a must.
Some
of the best snorkeling is directly off the
beach in front of the Villa, where a string
of coral heads waits your viewing. The
Villa maintains an inventory of masks, fins
and snorkels of varying sizes for both
adults and children. When booking,
please inform the Villa Manager of the
number and sizes that you might need, so she
can assure that they are in stock when you
arrive.
