Wildlife
History
Providenciales and the Caicos Banks developed around salt raking and small-boat fisheries; that maritime history informs today's charter culture.
Conservation
Operators often emphasize reef etiquette and catch-and-release practices; using reef-safe sunscreen and minimizing anchor contact helps protect coral and seagrass habitats.
Check sea conditions before you go
Operators pick routes by wind and tide; confirm sea state the morning of your trip and be flexible with timing.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply coral-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly to protect reef life and your skin.
Bring a water bottle and snacks
Half-day and full-day charters move fast—stay hydrated and bring light snacks for energy between stops.
Snorkel gently and slowly
Move deliberately near coral, avoid touching, and follow guide briefings to protect fragile colonies.
Mask & Snorkel
A well-fitted mask improves underwater views and makes time on the reef far more enjoyable.
