    OVERVIEW
    The Turks and Caicos Islands are famous for the 1,000 square miles of reef that surrounds them. The islands have been ranked in Rodales’ Scuba Diving Magazine as “Best Fish Life,” “Best Overall Destination,” “Top Fifteen Most Popular Dive Destinations Worldwide,” “ Best Wall Diving” and “ Best Beginner Diving.”

    The Turks and Caicos consist of 40 different islands, only 8 of which are inhabited. The islands of the Turks and Caicos are almost as diverse as its people. From the main tourist center of Providenciales to the quiet and tranquil islands of North and Middle Caicos to the historic Capital Island of Grand Turk; each offers a different experience and a unique character, but all offer great climate, beaches and underwater activities year round!

    Most of the islands are only about 10 to 25 minutes by air from Provo, and most can be reached by boat too. There are also regular ferries from North to Middle Caicos. Providenciales is the most well known of the Turks and Caicos Islands and is the center of the tourism industry with a wide range of hotels, restaurants, attractions and facilities.

    Grand Turk and Salt Cay offer history with great Bermudian architecture and a rustic charm as well as some of the best diving and probably the most "relaxing" time you will ever have.

    Middle Caicos and North Caicos represent the best of the environment, with lush green woodlands, the biggest cave network in the Caribbean on Middle Caicos, cottage pond and flamingo pond in North Caicos and a vast range of plantlife and birdlife.

    South Caicos is the center for fishing, with lobster and conch exported from the islands, the historic cockburn harbour and the natural phenomenon of the boiling hole. This small yet friendly island offers many secluded beaches with awe inspiring views of the turquoise waters and surrounding islands.

    Parrot Cay and Pine Cay are privately owned islands and are home to the exclusive resorts Parrot Cay Resort and Spa and the Meridian Club.
