We had never been to the Turks & Caicos and were looking forward to snorkeling there. I must say that it was windy and cool the day we were there but the water was clear and warm. However, that said, there wasn't a speck of live coral to be seen in the three snorkel stops we made. Of course the... More

Lots of fish and activity including rays and turtles. Not as much live coral, but still very beautiful. Very easy to get to and is right off the beach.
