Turks and Caicos Liveaboard Diving
June 6, 2025
The Turks & Caicos Islands are a mecca for scuba divers. You'll maximize your bottom time with up to 27 dives during the week and access all the best sites right from your doorstep.
The group of idyllic Caribbean islands is surrounded by dream-like turquoise waters containing over 1,000 square miles of vivid coral reef, dramatic walls, and a thriving Caribbean reef shark population. It's shark week, every week!
What’s the diving like?
Located 575 miles southeast of Miami, the idyllic islands of the Turks and Caicos sit surrounded by turquoise waters containing over 1,000 square miles of living coral reef. An oasis for divers from all over the world, the Turks and Caicos Islands are known for their expansive underwater visibility, high-voltage wall dives, and the profusion of marine life of all sizes located within their boundaries. Read about our guests' six most favorite Turks & Caicos dive sites!
Low annual rainfall and reliable ocean currents contribute to the remarkable visibility, as well as provide nutrients for the many large pelagics common in these waters. Caribbean reef sharks are common, as are spotted eagle rays, jacks, grouper, and turtles. Hammerheads and blacktips are spotted on a frequent basis, and the occasional manta rays and dolphins make an appearance. Famous for its spectacular walls filled with huge gorgonian fans, barrel sponges, hard-coral arches, and macro life, the Turks & Caicos Islands truly offer a dive experience for everyone.
Though many of the dive sites visited are outside the boundaries of the Princess Alexandra National Park, which provides strict protection for much of the marine life surrounding Provo, all of the dive operators in the area enthusiastically support marine conservation and preservation measures that ensure the waters of the Turks & Caicos remain pristine for future visitors.
