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

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 are in
the mid 80's. Winter water temperatures are 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 create a
special variety and magic all their own.
