Located
just 575 miles southeast of
Miami, and just south of the
Bahamas chain, there is a British
Crown Colony made up  of 193 square miles of islands.
They are called Turks and Caicos.
Yet in less than 90 minutes,
you can enter a world long forgotten
by many of us. Laidback lifestyles,
clean clear air, and diving
that is second to none. The
soothing tradewinds conjure
up a temperate climate and the
warm turquoise waters lap the
miles of deserted, pristine
sugar white beaches. If you
are seeking a retreat from the
hectic pace and everyday grind,
and can stand a place with overwhelming
natural beauty, and diving till
your heart's content, look no
further.

West Caicos
This uninhabited island
is situated on the west side of
Provo, about 45 minutes from the
Caicos Adventures dock. There
is

Eagle
Rays

six
miles of protected leeward side
wall, approximately 100-150 yards
from shore with more than 2 dozen
dive sites. The wall starts from
35-45 feet and drops to approximately
6,000 feet. You will see incredible
sponges, coral formations, large
grouper, Caribbean reef fish and
stingrays. There are great spots
to encounter large pelagic such
as reef sharks, spotted eagle
rays and turtles. On some occasions
you will see manta rays and hammerheads.
The diving conditions are excellent
for all levels and the visibility
is rarely less than 100 feet.
We offer 2 or 3 tank daily trips
as well as night dives.
During the interval we always
provide a tasty lunch, either
served on the beach or in one
of the beautiful coves.You can
relax and enjoy the tranquility,
or if you are feeling energetic
you can explore the island and
visit an 1800's plantation ghost
town or Lake Catherine in the
middle of the island. The snorkeling
on the reef and near the shore
provides more opportunities to
enjoy the variety of marine life
in the warm, clear water.
French Cay
We arrange trips
to this tiny Cay that was once
used as a hideaway for pirates.
It is now a bird sanctuary and
located 50 minutes from our dock
across the Caicos Bank. The wall
runs east-west and therefore gets
the sunlight all day resulting
in especially large coral and
sponges. The fish life is abundant
and with frequent sightings of
eagle rays, sharks and occasionally
manta rays and hammerheads.

Reef Shark

The
most exciting time to dive at
French Cay is during the first
three months of the year when
the humpback whales visit the
area. Sightings are frequent and
you could be lucky enough to dive
with these massive yet graceful
mammals.
Nurse sharks frequent the area
during their mating season, normally
from July to September, providing
another great reason to visit
this dive site.
The visibility ranges from 60
-100+ feet but we only dive this
area on calm days, ensuring good
visibility. We offer 2 or 3 tank
day trips and as always lunch
and refreshments are provided
on every trip. During the interval
there are opportunities to snorkel,
explore the reef and visit the
bird sanctuary.

The
visibility is excellent and 2

on the beach. Special snorkeling

It is wonderful to dive in clear,turquoise
water with visibility of 100 feet
or more and temperatures between
75°F and 85°F! There are
an abundance of reef fish and
beautiful coral. Sharks, eagle
rays and manta rays are all residents
of these waters and JoJo the dolphin
is often close by. We arrange
3 tank dives on request.
