Why dive here
With 127+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Coral Gables offers some of Providenciales's richest reef diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Coral Gables offers a pleasant drift along a sloped reef that eventually meets the Turks and Caicos wall. We often find ourselves gliding over stretches of sand punctuated by impressive coral heads, where schools of grunts and snapper like to hang out. The gentle slope makes it easy to manage your depth, making it a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re looking for a comfortable drift without too much exertion. Keep an eye out for larger groupers tucked into the coral stacks as you make your way down. It’s a solid choice for a second dive or an easy morning start.
