Snorkeling in the Caribbean: 3 unique treasures to discover

Sunny all year round and home to 25 dive sites, the Turks and Caicos deserves its reputation as one of the most amazing diving destinations in the world. Be transported to another universe in the waters of a crystal clear lagoon. Explore the depths of Grace Bay, home to the secluded beach at the Club Med Turkoise Resort. An ideal starting point from which to enjoy your first dive in a world-class location. With classes for all levels, you can swim with barracudas, groupers, turtles, and all kinds of brightly colored tropical fish; the "Aquarium" is just one of many amazing dive sites. Marvel at the spectacular drops at "Pinacles," a site covered with giant sea fans, sponges, and coral arches. While beginners learn how to use their gear and work on their buoyancy, more experienced divers can opt for 5 or 10-dive packages for both guided and non-guided dives. You'll observe reef sharks, baby sharks, and maybe, with a bit of luck, a hammerhead!
