The Grand Turk Wall is the reason serious divers come to the Turks and Caicos. A continuous vertical reef, dropping from 30 feet down to extreme depth, runs along the entire western shore of the island, with the lip never more than a quarter-mile from the beach.
Visibility is consistently 30 metres or better, the coral is healthy by Caribbean standards, and the dives are easy: short boat rides, no surge, no current at depth. Most operators run two-tank morning trips and offer night dives from the shore. Half a dozen dive shops cluster around Front Street; book at least a day ahead in the cruise season.
