What to ExpectCurrents are mild to non-existent, and the visibility is consistently 100 feet but can reach 200 feet.Water temps range from mid-70s to mid 80s, although air temps range from a wintertime mid-70s to 90 degrees in the summer. Shore diving is limited, but snorkeling can be excellent. Deep depths and steep vertical walls allow for large sponges, thriving corals and occasional shark encounters, while the 18th-century wreck HMS Endymion lies off of the shallow western shore of Salt Cay. The Turks Island Passage that flows between the two island chains hosts humpback whales, dolphins, spotted eagle rays, mantas and turtles.

The best dive trips are the ones where everything goes smoothly before you
hit the water, when check-in, gear issue and equipment setup are swift and
convenient, and all that's left is to enjoy the boat ride and look forward to
a great dive. That's the way they like it at Dive Provo.
While divers in the Turks & Caicos always stand a good chance of running into
both large stingrays and eagle rays, moderate-sized reef sharks, sea turtles
and curious groupers, they may also find themselves face to face with some of
the ocean's larger residents.
The Turks and Caicos lie at the far southeast corner of the Bahamas
archipelago, the islands contain about 13 square miles of relatively flat
surface area, including eight major islands and numerous uninhabited cays.
