Select participants and date
The Sea Legend cuts a clean line through water that changes color every minute — from pale aqua over sand flats to deep, glassy cobalt where the reefs drop away. On a calm morning off Providenciales, the 27-foot Hurricane hums past mangrove-fringed shoals, and the island silhouettes sharpen against a low sun. The group is compact — eight people at most — so the engine’s rhythm becomes the tempo of the day: move, anchor, snorkel, swim, repeat.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The guide will remind you, but pack a high‑SPF, reef‑safe sunscreen to protect skin and coral life.
Mind the tide at the wreck
The La Famille shipwreck sits in shallow water—ask the crew about entry points and current conditions before snorkeling.
Secure loose gear
Use a dry bag or tether cameras and sunglasses; spray and waves can send unfastened items overboard.
Pre‑dose if you get seasick
Calm seas are common but not guaranteed—ginger tablets or an over‑the‑counter remedy 30–60 minutes before departure helps.
