TEMERAIRE
Why dive here
With 127+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - TEMERAIRE offers some of Providenciales's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The *Temeraire*, a yacht sunk in 1975, is still a popular spot off Providenciales, especially for newer wreck divers. We find it’s a pretty easygoing dive, sitting in shallow water, meaning plenty of bottom time to explore the hull and superstructure. Over the years, it’s become home to various small reef fish darting through the openings, and you’ll often spot a barracuda or two hovering in the shadows. It’s not a deep penetration wreck, but for a relaxing dive with some interesting history and resident critters, it definitely delivers.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
