Ultimate Snorkeling Adventure

OVERVIEW

Snorkel two outstanding reefs off Grand Turk that are absolutely teeming with marine life. While cruising to the first site, known as The Wall, you will receive a brief orientation on what to expect and how to get the most from the experience. Although the reef at The Wall plummets away to depths of up 7,000 feet, you will snorkel on a coral plateau in about 20 feet of water. You can expect to see a huge variety of brilliantly colored tropical fish and perhaps graceful manta rays. Be sure to look over the edge of The Wall to see how precipitously it drops off. The water is much shallower at Oasis Reef, where you will snorkel next, so you can expect to see different marine life. For instance, you might spot sergeant majors, neon-colored parrotfish and blue-striped grunts. You may even catch sight of a sea turtle or two.
