The clear turquoise waters of the Turks and Caicos, which are warm and gentle with a visibility of over 100m, are a fertile ground for marine life. It is for this reason that the Turks and Caicos is home to the third largest barrier reef in the world. Additionally, the islands rest on an underwater plateau that slopes for over 10,000 feet. The slopes and terrain of the underwater plateau is home to an abundance of amazing coral reefs of various colors and shapes. The waters are also inhabited by many unique species of fish, giving visitors the opportunity of having an unforgettable diving experience.
