The eight main isles of this beautiful archipelago -- the Turks & Caicos Islands -- are surrounded by ocean of a color so rare & compelling that photographers from around the world have marveled for decades at its indefinable, almost haunting & hypnotic hue. It's a sort of glowing blend of deep turquoise, ultramarine, jade green & royal blue; & the tint shifts subtly, magically, from hour to hour depending on cloud cover & angle of the sun overhead. This island group is so large that only via Turks & Caicos live-aboards can you see it properly.
Located about 580 miles Southeast of the Florida Panhandle, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a diver's daydream, & we thank God that not too many folks have discovered this fact to date. We always fear that once the word is out on islands this glorious to view, both from the deck & through your diving mask, then the crowds will come. So far, the clean, clear waters surrounding these two awesome island groups, divided by a 22-mile channel, are uncrowded & serene as any vacationer could wish for.
So what's the Turks and Caicos diving like? Let the Aggressor Fleet show you. And show you they will! Turks & Caicos live-aboards are da way t'go, mon! There are stunning walls to explore, including one wall in the western sector of this chain that plunges almost 7,000 vertical feet from sparkling coral reef, over a ledge & down a grade, then off into the black infinity, down a wall laden with sea life, down to where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic. Imagine that, funseekers: a 7,000-foot dropoff! Your heart started yet? There are Turks and Caicos diving days when you'll be able to hover like a wet-suited dragonfly, right over the lip of that great wall, & you'll feel the soul of the sea welling up inside your throat as your heart tattoos a healthy rhythm on your ribcage & your eyes widen like California poppies in the morning sun. Scuba diving from the Aggressors has a tendency to spark those glad symptoms, our clients insist.
The Turks & Caicos islands will offer you underwater viz that often exceeds 150 feet, & sometimes reaches as far as 200 feet, plus big critter action from sharks & rays galore, enormous frolicking sea turtles, huge grand-daddy barracuda that look like living torpedoes with an attitude, African pompano & sometimes on blessed days -- yes even the elusive & mysterious humpback whales in migratory pursuit of better ocean "pastures." Other Turks and Caicos diving wonders that will prod your memories for years to come are the hundreds of nurse sharks that gather at a crack in French Cay during one narrow two-month window each year, & many emotionally invigorating encounters with dolphins, both wild & tame. Who knows, if you're blessed on the right day, you might see the Prince of Whales some gliding by like some vast silent blubber submarine. One can only wonder. Turks & Caicos live-aboards provide the answer, clean, serene, keen on color.
Here's a thumbnail summary of the Aggressor Fleet's 12 vessels. All these live-aboard packages for the Turks & Caicos Islands include 3 fine & filling meals per day + all the diving your heart desires for at least 5.5 days on a 7-night cruise (free tanks & weights included) + clean, spacious cabins + roomy salons & sundecks. All Fleet vessels carry full safety gear, high-tech navigation equipment, powerful radios, hot freshwater showers, entertainment centers, plus personal gear lockers on board.
These Aggressor Fleet yachts also offer large diving decks & wide ladders for easy entries & exits. No pile-ups here; so you'll spend your time underwater not topside, tapping your fin impatiently. Aggressor Fleet vessels offer some of the world's best service & substantial bargains, in every country where their shining prows slice the Big Blue. Hundreds & hundreds of utterly satisfied clients around the world must be saying something about the well-managed Aggressor vessels. Their safety record is top-notch; their commitment to quality on-board amenities & their courteous staff are outstanding, as well. These folks know their business; you'll love Turks and Caicos diving with them. We bet you'll want to go back soon! There are plenty of Aggressors to choose from.

charters in the Silver Banks? The Silver Banks are
one of the few
places in the world where humans are allowed to interact with humpback
whales in their natural environment. Here, guests may enter the water
and
snorkel face-to-face with the whales. No scuba or rebreathers are allowed
in the sanctuary. Once the whales are spotted, guests will slip out

above water.)

IMPORTANT REMINDER about PRICES & TARIFFS:
All Turks & Caicos diving package prices listed here are subject to possible change in this steadily evolving travel market. Lodging, side tour & diving prices are traditionally stable, as are live-aboard package prices; however air prices can fluctuate daily. Until air tickets are issued, all airlines reserve the right to change airfares without notice -- an industry standard per FAA rules. Remember please, the federal government has deregulated all U.S.-based airlines, so only they control their pricing -- not any travel professionals. Early is good when seeking the best air ticket rates for your Turks & Caicos scuba diving vacation.
Unless specifically noted, these above Turks & Caicos diving packages are prices for only the live-aboard portion of your dive trip, in most cases reflecting double-occupancy staterooms. On our Turks & Caicos live-aboards, there will be no triple-occupancy staterooms offered, but a few quad-occupancy cabins are available. International air tickets & commuter "island-hopper" seats are always extra above these land costs. Nominal service fees are also extra for air tickets & the dive vessel + side tour components. The baseline tariffs for all clients start at $45 per person for the vessel portion + $35 pp for the air tickets. Late-booking clients for our Turks & Caicos scuba diving charters may receive slightly higher tariffs on the lodging + diving at many of our dive resorts. Solo Turks & Caicos diving clients will always pay a single supplement to secure a private stateroom -- normally 50% more than the standard double-occupancy rate for the live-aboard of your choice.
The preferred payment mode for all of our Turks & Caicos diving live-aboards, dive resorts, side tours & air ticket specials is by cashier's check or wire transfer in U.S. dollars. All clients living outside the USA or Canada will need to pay for their dive vacations via direct wire transfer only. No personal checks will be accepted for the live-aboard, air ticketing or land portion of any reservation. Thank you for your gracious understanding. Our service level is the highest & our prices the lowest in this industry, & thus we need to preserve a reasonable margin. For published-fare air ticket bookings, USDT always accepts Visa & Mastercard. For discount wholesale air tickets, USDT accepts only cashier's checks or wire transfers, please.
Remember, all Turks & Caicos diving vacation clients to all foreign destinations will be asked by local officials overseas, upon departing the airport on your final day, to pay a nominal government departure tax, usually between USD $35 - $40 per client. USDT cannot collect this tax beforehand, so you simply pay it down there, in your host country. Be sure to stash away a little cash for this final moment at the airport, so you'll get your exit visa stamped quickly with no fuss; & away you go. Best of luck with your Turks & Caicos scuba diving plans. We hope your Turks & Caicos diving vacation is a safe & satisfying adventure. Blessings & best wishes with ALL your Turks & Caicos diving vacations.
Best fishes too!
