Salt Cay, Turks and Caicos

Snorkelers can find great adventures throughout the Turks and Caicos. But Salt Cay has some special attractions. Dive tour operators lead expeditions to forests of elk horn coral with resident nurse sharks and sting rays. Uninhabited cays nearby offer pristine fish viewing. The British frigate HMS Endymion, wrecked on a coral reef in 1790, lies in only 20 feet of water. Winter offers a special bonus, when snorkelers may be able to swim amidst the looming shapes of humpback whales singing their eerie songs.
