TURKS AND CAICOS DIVING, SCUBA DIVING
It was diving that put turks and caicos islands on the traveler's map in the late 60's and early 70's and it was diving that kick started Big Blue in 1997/98, the Year of the Reef and Ocean. With the world's 3rd largest barrier reef fringing the Turks and Caicos Islands limestone plateau, Big Blue is able to explore some of the world's most awesome sheer drop walls. Starting at 45 feet and descending 6000-8000 feet into the abyss, diving here is always a surprise. Eagle rays, sharks and turtles cruise through a reef system abundant in soft corals, gigantic sponges and schooling fish. If you are really lucky even the mighty Humpback Whales may surprise you.
But let's be real. The world's oceans are in peril. Our reefs are at a tipping point. As robust as they may seem their future is uncertain. In the Turks and Caicos Islands, Big Blue has pioneered small group diving, the only acceptable way to dive the world's reefs. With fewer divers in the water we are minimizing impact, and exploring in a safe and responsible manner.
Big Blue utilizes top of the line dive equipment including Cressi-sub masks and fins, Suunto computers, O'neill wetsuits, Sherwood regulators, Aqualung BCD's. Our dive boats are comfortable, our staff is professional, and our safety record is impeccable. Big Blue Unlimited is the ultimate diving platform from which to explore our underwater kingdom.
