    East Reef, just off Providenciales, is a reliable Caribbean coral dive. It’s a good spot for seeing the usual suspects: some curious Caribbean reef sharks, turtles cruising the wall, and plenty of schooling snapper. The site generally suits divers looking for a straightforward, relaxing profile without strong currents. We often take newer divers here for a gentle introduction to the local reef system.
