One of the least populated groups of islands in the Caribbean, the best way to explore the Turks & Caicos Islands' fabulous diving is by liveaboard.
The best of both worlds. This trip allows for a few nights to explore Provo and a week on a liveaboard, allowing the opportunity for the best possible diving experience in the area.
Up to five dives a day are offered on the sheer walls which begin in the shallows and plunge into the deep blue abyss. The crevasses and ledges are decorated with huge orange elephant ear sponges and gorgonians. Divers can also expect colourful reef systems with a bountiful tropical marine life.
The itinerary below is based on a seven night trip on board the Turks & Caicos Explorer II in a twin share cabin, flying directly from the UK.
