Big Blue is the Turks and Caicos Islands' only diving and eco-adventure company. Established in 1997, our mission is to provide guests with unique and informative adventures that explore the islands with minimal impact to the environment and maximum benefit to the local community. All trips are conducted in small groups or as private customized adventures.
The Best Time to Go
The tides and weather are monitored to help choose ideal times and locations for diving, snorkelling and kayaking. When going on a Big Blue adventure you can place your trust in our many years of experience leading adventure tours in the Turks and Caicos.
Eco-Serious
Big Blue cares about the Turks and Caicos Islands. Special heed is taken to use permanent moorings, avoiding anchors on the coral. Divers, snorkelers, and kayakers are advised about good reef and in-water etiquette. Bikers and hikers follow established trails. All trips are educational and use local guides where possible. Local enterprise is utilized, including restaurants, shops, and taxis. Big Blue also supports the Turks and Caicos National Trust by bringing our guests to the Little Water Cay iguana sanctuary, the Wade's Green historical plantation on North Caicos, and the Crossing Place Trail on Middle Caicos. Big Blue is the recipient of the Turks and Caicos Ecotourism award.
