Salt Cay Divers, scuba diving, Salt Cay, Turks Caicos Islands
Description
From early in the 1700's until 1960's, Salt Cay was one of the largest exporters of salt in the world. You can still tour the Salinas (salt ponds) and windmills were the salt was actually produced. Salt Cay has several historical churches and old plantation homes to view, where salt was stored prior to shipping. Being the most remote island, snorkeling and scuba diving is some of the best in the world! We have pristine walls, still teeming with fish and spectacular, colorful corals and sponges. January through March is the migration of the magnificent Humpback Whales. Salt Cay is considered the "Humpback Whale Headquarters" as the island sits directly in the Columbus Passage where the whales migrate to the Silver Banks. The Salt Cay is the southernmost inhabited island in the Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies. It is 90 miles north of the Dominican Republic, 650 miles southeast of Miami. It is home to 101 friendly souls rich in heritage and Caribbean culture, plus privately-owned cattle, numerous chickens, a small herd of wild donkeys, and 2 iguanas. The official language is English and the official currency is the US dollar.
The island is small (3 square miles), mostly flat, and arid. Temperatures, averaging 83 degrees Fahrenheit, are moderated by the eastern trade winds. The insect population is governed by the amount of rain -- it is never overwhelming. Far better than most Caribbean islands.
There are several major airlines flying to Providenciales. American Air has three flights daily, Air Jamaica, Delta, US Air and Air Canada, and British Airways .Once you get to Provo, the island hopper is a short 25 minute flight and cost is $160 per person round trip. Salt Cay Divers will make the reservations for you and InterIsland Airways has great connecting flight with all major airlines.
