A Diver’s Paradise to Be Found in Turks & Caicos Islands
经过Charmaine Joseph/在土耳其人和凯科斯群岛(TCI)潜水是无与伦比的经历。这些岛屿位于加勒比海北部,构成了100多个岛屿,Cays和Rocks,位于一个扫地的水下高原的北边缘,距离海底7000英尺。
The transition from flat sandy beaches to underwater vertical walls that stand thousands of feet tall makes for a spectacular experience. Along the plateau, divers will find sand chutes, canyons and cracks that provide for excellent swim-through locations. Known as the Mt Everest of wall dives, Grand Turks offers over 40 locations for wall diving, often backdropped by the melodious sounds of humpback whales. It’s no wonder TCI’s wall dives are consistently rated as some of the best in the world.
The Turks and Caicos is said to be home to one of the best barrier reefs in the world and the world’s third largest reef. Collectively, there are 340 miles of barrier reef surrounding the islands and the reef has around 60 striking coral species and over 250 different fish species. The colorful and vibrant marine life that calls the reef home creates an awe-inspiring snorkeling experience even for beginners. The reef helps to shelter the bays from large waves, creating a snorkeling environment of calm seas and crystal clear water. The section of reef known as Coral Gardens, on the island of Providenciales, is one of the most popular in TCI. Divers can experience sea turtles, starfish, eagle rays, and coral formations.
TCI有许多健康的沉船,用于潜水员,可以用最古老的残骸(称为糖蜜礁残骸,可追溯到1500年代)进行探索。实际上,由于其障碍礁的危险性质,据估计,自1500年代以来,超过1000艘船可能沿着TCI沿岸破坏。
如今,有许多沉船冒险活动可供选择,并为地面上和下方的残骸提供了游览。潜水员可以在不同的水平上使用几个残骸,尽管在访问该网站时必须安排自定义的旅行,因为任何公司都没有提供定期安排的残骸潜水。
