Turks & Caicos, Caribbean

A British Crown Colony consisting of 40 islands lying in the tropical Atlantic south east of the Bahamas. Only eight of the islands are inhabited. The diving is some of the best in the Caribbean with the sheer walls of Providenciales, West Caicos and remote French Cay host to enormous Orange Elephant Ear Sponges, sprawling sea fans and an unmatched variety of life including eels, Orange Ball Corallimorph and anemones. Eagle Rays, barracuda shoals and turtles are seen year round and, on occasion, the odd humpback whale is spotted on its winter migration to the Caribbean.
