Did you know...
Only eight islands of the country's 40 are inhabited and the island's residents are mainly descendants of African slaves brought to work in the cotton plantations and salt pans. Many of the island's accumulate natural sea salt and this was once traded for honey, fruit and vegetables. Home to some of the world's best dive sites, Turks and Caicos has the third largest barrier reef system on the planet.
Diving from Providenciales, or diving Provo, you head out to sites like Amphitheatre at the western end of Northern Wall. West Caicos Wall offers some of the Turks & Caicos Islands' best known dives. Soft and hard corals and colorful sponges adorn the reefs here. In August nurse sharks come to bread in the shallows of French Cay and the south western section of the Caicos group. Further south there is more great diving at Salt Cay and the Grand Turk Wall.
