Less than a 2 hours’ direct flight from Miami, you’ll find the 40 wonderous islands and cays of Turks and Caicos and their extraordinary coral reef ecosystem – essentially a diver’s paradise. Here’s a brief summary of why snorkeling should be on your Turks and Caicos itinerary: 

• An incredible variety of 60 different species of hard and soft coral and 250 distinct fish species live on the reefs of the Turks & Caicos Islands.
• According to Padi, the deep passage between the Turks and Caicos Islands is a water highway for migrating fish, rays, dolphins, and humpback whales from January through March.
• Some other fascinating marine creatures that inhabit these parts of the tropical Atlantic include lionfishes, barracudas, and sea turtles.
• In addition to the pulsating corals and marine creatures, more experienced drivers can explore The Wall, an abrupt transition between the shallow water and reef inhabiting on top of the subterranean plateaus and the greater depths below it!
• Naturally, snorkeling and scuba diving are the only way to closely witness and experience the rich oceanic life surrounding Turks and Caicos.
