Grand Turk scuba diving - a reason for your vacation
Some of the finest scuba diving in the archipelago is around Grand Turk -- in fact, a breathtakingly short .8km to 1.6km (1/2-1 mile) offshore (a 5- to 10-min. boat ride away). The action is at the "Wall," where the western edges of the island (and its necklace of coral reef) plunge dramatically 2,134m (7,000 ft.) into deep water, actually the leeward side of the Turks Island Passage (also known as the Columbus Passage), which lies between the Turks Islands and the Caicos Islands. Scuba divers flock here to enjoy panoramic wall dives on the vertical sides of the reefs. The diving sites of the Wall have colorful names like Coral Garden, the Aquarium, the Library, and even McDonald's (for its -- what else? -- coral arch). Near Governor's Beach (and just onshore, the governor's mansion at Waterloo) is a site called Chief Ministers. You'll see all manner of marine life, from giant manta rays and Nassau groupers to big, voluptuous formations of coral and sponges. You'll even see humpback whales as they migrate south through the Turks Island Passage in the winter.
