In a nutshell

Divers from around the world come to Grand Turk to explore the seabed around the island and marvellous marine life. With this excursion we have the unique opportunity to experience such exploration, only with a difference. The difference is that and we can do it seated comfortably aboard our Semi-Submarine.

The programme

You’ll be transported to the Semi Submarine, right from the cruise port in the Splash Tours Power catamaran, you’ll see great views of the coastline and surrounding islands.
Once on board, after a short explanation of the submarine's features we go below deck to observe Grand Turk's marine life through the viewing windows, everyone has their own window!
We sail along the west coast of the island where the rich coral reef drops off 2300 metres into the blue abyss forming what has come to be known as The Wall.
Our local guide points out the various species of fish that live in the waters of Grand Turk and, with a bit of luck, we might even see tortoises, rays, groupers and notorious sharks.
After about 40 minutes, our excursion is over and we board the Power Cat again to take us back to the Grand Turk Cruise Centre pier.
