Turks and Caicos Islands Description:
The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory consisting of two groups of sub-tropical islands in the West Indies, the larger Caicos Islands and the smaller Turks Islands. The islands are geographically contiguous to the Bahamas, but are politically a separate entity. The two distinct island groups are separated by the Turks Passage. The weather is usually sunny and relatively dry, but suffers frequent hurricanes. The calcium rich and warm waters have created the perfect conditions for coral reefs, resulting in a hard and soft coral barrier reef all along the Turks and Caicos island group. The Turks and Caicos Islands is one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world.
Providenciales is the best developed and most touristic region in the island group. All cays and islands on the southern edge of the Caicos Bank are known for its wicked wall diving and spectacular steep drop-offs.
Aquatic life is rich and diverse, coral species are huge and colourful. Vast areas of the underwater ecology are well maintained, protected, controlled and preserved. There are mooring buoys at many of the dive sites to protect the coral reefs from being damaged. Manta rays are feeding along the walls especially in summer. For the rest, you will find plenty of marine species all year long.
