This modern liveaboard will take you on a thrilling adventure along the coasts of Providenciales, West Caicos and French Caye. Dive along walls that plunge into the deep blue abyss, past crevasses adorned with gigantic orange elephant ear sponges and a plethora of Macro life. 

With 40 islands and cays to explore - of which only eight are inhabited - you'll have space to yourself to soak in the beautiful scenery away from any crowds.
