In Grand Turk you have a good chance of an encounter with many exciting creatures. Giant Manta Rays are frequently seen along the wall during the summer and Humpback whales in the winter. Spotted Eagle Rays cruise the wall and friendly Nassau Groupers are usually there to greet you on every dive. The water is filled with turtles, stingrays, schools of horse-eyed jack, puffers, trumpet fish, snappers and much more. Colorful tube sponges, plate coral and soft coral cover of the wall.

Some of the dive sites to amaze you include the Amphitheater where the coral rises extremely high between deep sand channels and McDonald's, appropriately named for the coral covered arch that two or three divers can swim through. For night divers and macro photographers, the Library, in only 20-30 feet, is rich with coral and fish life and five species of coral can be seen at Black Forest. The Coral Garden is a series of broad ridges covered with healthy corals, particularly hard corals such as Brain Coral. Sea Plums and Searods grow here as well and there are are frequent sightings of Hawksbill turtles.

Gibb's Cay, a small, uninhabited island only a short distance southeast of Grand Turk, with white sand beaches and shallow snorkeling reefs, is ideal for day trips.  Salt Cay is a great day trip to the most remote island in all the Turks & Caicos.
