Have you heard about the incredible diving in Turks & Caicos yet? Not many divers have yet to discover this diving destination in the Caribbean but it will not be long before the secret is out - make this your choice for your next Caribbean scuba diving holiday and you will not be disappointed. With over 40 islands (only 8 of which are inhabited) to explore, the quality of diving will astound even the most seasoned diver. There are dramatic wall dives, opulent corals and sponges, pelagic encounters and healthy reef dives to enjoy. And with the Turks & Caicos Explorer as your liveaboard home for the week, you really can get away from it all on a perfect voyage through the many island and cays. Spoil yourself totally and experience the Caribbean as it is meant to be seen.

The Turks & Caicos Explorer accommodates 20 passengers in 10 cabins. There are 3 twin bunk cabins on the lower deck, 5 twin beds on the main deck and 2 VIP cabins on the upper deck with double beds. All of the cabins are ensuite with air con. The saloon and dining area are welcoming but it is the covered sun deck where many guests spend their time not diving. There is also a BBQ up here which will be fired up at least once during the trip. The all important dive deck has been carefully thought out to give all divers the room they need. Kit lockers, camera table and large rinse tanks are just some of the important features. All diving is done from the boat making entries and exits simple and stress free.

A giant stride and you enter a lavish scene. There are over 1000 square miles of coral reef to discover so the dives come thick and fast. Up to 5 dives a day mean you can be sure to see all the highlights and then some! To the east of Turks & Caicos the walls drop away quickly, plunging into the blue. Massive elephant ear and tube sponges adorn the wall, punctuated with gorgonian sea fans. The prevailing currents bring reef sharks aplenty to the walls, as well as eagle rays and the occasional manta, tiger shark and hammerhead. The turtles are especially friendly here. Shallower sites bustle with schools of snapper, jacks and tangs. Angel fish of all kinds gently cruise the reef plates, weaving between hard and soft corals. Lobster, octopus, scorpion fish and garden eels... these are some of the shyer inhabitants to hunt out. Discover this corner of the Caribbean and you will never want to leave.
