Why dive here
With 127+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - RIVER ARC (PROBABLY) offers some of Providenciales's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The River Arc, a sizable motor vessel, ran aground off North Caicos after being abandoned on its way to the US. Now, she rests in just two meters of water, making her a perfect playground for snorkelers or very shallow divers. We’ve found barracuda often patrolling her hull, with juvenile reef fish darting in and out of the exposed superstructure. It’s a fascinating look at how quickly the sea reclaims what’s hers, ideal for an easy afternoon float or a dive to practice your photography without worrying about depth or deco limits.
