Turks & Caicos Islands

About Turks & Caicos Islands

The Turks & Caicos Islands consists of the larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turks Islands. Scuba diving predominates on extensive coral reefs that surround the Islands. As a result, there are 700 fish and 60 coral species. This British Overseas Territory is in the Lucayan Archipelago of the northern Caribbean Atlantic Ocean. There are 9 named islands and 90 small islands and uninhabited cays. In addition to diving, the islands are famous for white sandy beaches and clear waters. Earliest inhabitants were Taino (also known as Lucayan) Indians until 1500. Afterward, for 200 years, control switched between pirates, the Spanish, French, and finally the British.

Diving Turks & Caicos Islands

Providenciales, or more commonly known as “Provo”, is the most developed island. Also, it has easy access to many miles of barrier reefs and walls. Subsequently, there’s a huge variety of marine life and corals at the dive sites. Here, expect spur and groove reef formations, walls with shelves at different levels, swim throughs, canyons and sand chutes. Likewise, the coral is vibrant, sponges and reef fish are plentiful. Sea turtles, lobsters, eels and eagle rays are common. Regularly, divers encounter reef and nurse sharks but hammerheads, lemon and bull are seen. Dolphin can be spotted and during the winter months humpback whales offshore. Northwest Point Marine National Park is equally friendly to snorkelers and divers. Grand Turk is the small western most island. However, it’s both the capital and historical island of the country. The excellent diving on this island is characterized by walls. Accessibility can be by shore diving. Also, reef topography features canyons, arches, sand chutes, overhangs and swim throughs. Similarly, this island offers divers diversity and density of marine life on all its reefs. The coral is vibrant and healthy with numerous varieties of corals, sponges and invertebrates to view. Consequently, marine reef fish, eels, colorful worms, crabs, octopus, squids and shrimp are common. Pelagic animals such as various species of rays, sharks, dolphin and turtles glide by as well. Also, whale sharks and humpback whales migrate closely offshore.

Providenciales has hotels, luxury resorts, all-inclusive, condo properties and liveaboards. Grand Turk is mainly small inns, suites and boutique hotels. However, accommodations on both islands appeal to all divers and vacationers. Providenciales doesn’t have many historical attractions. Cheshire Hall, a former cotton plantation, is a site to visit. Chalk Sound National Park is a scenic inland lagoon. The National Museum and Majesty’s Prison are on Grand Turk. Watersports are coupled with miles of beaches.

The history of The Turks and Caicos Islands reads like a pirate story. Wrecks and legends of pirate booty are part of the local lore. An archipelago of 40 islands and cays located 30 miles Southeast of the Bahamas at half way between Miami and Puerto Rico. They cover 193 square miles and are surrounded by a continuous coral reef. The islands are made of two groups of island –  the Turks Islands and the Caicos Islands. The islands are one giant wall, with 6000 feet of vertical drop circling the islands. Many wrecks have been sacrificed to the sea and provide shelter to a vast aquatic life.
