Caicos Island |
INFOS
South
Caicos is the fishing capital of the islands, and boasts
the best natural harbour and several fishing plants, processing
most of the nation's seafood harvest of lobster, conch and
fish for export and local consumption. Other features of
the island include the 18th century Commissioner's House,
old salt works, and the Boiling Hole which fed the salt pans
that once made South Caicos the islands' largest producer
of salt.
DIVING
Known
as the big fish capital of the Turks and Caicos, with
large Pelagics seen here in great numbers. A vertical
wall wraps around the southern edge of South Caicos,
and then extends the length of Long Cay. The wall here
drops to an amazing 8,000 feet which makes for abundant
sea life and magnificent colors in the coral.
This
is reputed to be the finest diving in the Turks and Caicos.
