Adrift in the old
Caribbean, Salt Cay has long been a destination for adventurous
souls in search
of pristine diving and peaceful shore life. Only 90 miles north of
the Dominican Republic, this is a six square-mile desert,
home to rock iguanas, 145 wild donkeys, about 112 friendly locals,
12 cars. Blessed with nearly perfect weather, a two mile
strech of powder sand beach, and a few historic ruins, Salt Cay is
the perfect destination to get away from it all. We stayed at
Tradewinds Guest
Suites. The accomodations were outstanding. We did
our certification including 9 open water dives with Salt Cay
Divers. They took us out to see some fabulous Salt Cay and
Grand Turk walls known for its pristine, remote frontier diving in
86 degree
waters. The coral reefs lie within steps of the Salt Cay beaches,
making snorkeling and night diving some of the
best in the Caribbean. They also offer dives to recently
discovered, unsalvaged 1790 British warship,
the H.M.S
Endymion, which is armed with eighteen nine-foot anchors.
Other activities on the island include walking or
biking to
explore the historical salinas and remnants of the salt industry,
bird watching, napping, fishing, whale watching
(Nov-April). If you're looking for breath-taking diving, uncrowded
dive boats, and an opportunity to experience real
Caribbean culture in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, then this small
and unique island is for you. Click onSALT CAY for more
