West Caicos wall dives (West Caicos Marine National Park)
21° 41.0′ N · 72° 28.2′ W
Some of the sheerest wall diving in the islands: 40–45-ft reef tops plunging thousands of feet, at sites like Gullies, Rock Garden, Yankee Town, Highway to Heaven, Elephant Ear Canyons, Driveway and Spanish Anchor.
Practical
1,153-acre marine park on the west coast; usually sheltered from the ESE trades. Superb cliff-and-cove snorkeling with small caves and cliff jumps up to about 25 ft. Provo dive trips take 5–6 hours round trip; liveaboards (Turks & Caicos Aggressor II) visit. National park: no take.
