It is no secret
that the best scuba diving is usually found off the beaten
path, and Grand Turk as some of the most pristine wall
diving in the world. The Turks & Caicos Islands are located
at the south tip of the Bahamas. Only 90 miles straight
north of Hispaniola, we are often sheltered from adverse
winds, and offer ideal conditions year round. Blue
Water Divers offer PADI instruction, a great
referral program, and some of the best sites for
photography! Email
us for details!
Grand Turk has more than 25 permanently moored sites located
in the Columbus National Park, just minutes from your resort
doorstep. Since the wall is only a quarter mile offshore,
boat rides are usually ten minutes to the reef, with lush
and pristine dive sites. Our sites usually start at 25-30
feet over white sandy bottoms and the wall plunges down more
than 7000 feet. Summer water temperature
is in the mid 80's. Winter is in the high 70's.
Summer diving
brings perfect water conditions and increased sightings of
Manta Rays. The water is teaming with life from plankton to
pelagic... The walls here are renowned for amazing diversity
of hard and soft corals. Sponge growth is also prolific, and
overall the reef system is incredibly lush and healthy.
Tunnels, arches, undercuts, outcrops... all the sites have
their own special predominant features that creates a
special variety and magic all their own. |
