Travel six feet under the surface of the water in dry comfort while seeing the abundant sea life and coral reefs surrounding Grand Turk. The semi-submersible craft remains on the surface providing incredible views though the viewing windows below the deck. We can catch a glimpse of Grand Turk’s famous 7,000-foot drop off without getting wet. We will be part of the few who will see some of the most flamboyant, healthy, colourful reefs in the Caribbean region, unnamed and unexplored. From out of our viewing port, we will see a myriad of colourful fish and corals that call this place home. Our guide will help us identify the ones that are a mystery. We will see the sea floor as both a forest and a desert, and learn of the fanciful creatures that inhabit each of them. There will be plenty of time to hear the history of Grand Turk where many historians believe Columbus first made landfall in the New World. In this tiny, sleepy place, great salt fortunes were made and lost, the oldest shipwreck was discovered and John Glenn splashed down after his momentous astronomical feat, here. What marine life may be seen during the semi-submarine ride is obviously unpredictable, as is the clarity of the water at the time of our call. Not recommended for passengers who suffer form claustrophobia. Please note that there are approximately 6 steps to negotiate onboard the semi-submarine, to descend into the hull.
