Providenciales, also known as "Provo", is an idyllical Caribbean island in the Turks and Caicos, located on the west side of the Caicos archipelago it is the largest island in population and the third largest in area. Served by the Providenciales International Airport it is home to the only conch farm in the world. Provo is also the most popular tourist destination in the Turks and Caicos, and this is seen in the bustling nightlife, shops, restaurants, and resort options available on the island. A popular destination for a myriad of reasons, including long white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue waters, fantastic diving, and the wonderful warm Caribbean welcome. Divers are especially drawn to Provo as it is home to the Princess Alexandra National Park where no commercial or sport fishing is allowed. As a result of this divers benefit from pristine reefs, a high abundance of colourful and diverse marine life, of which remain undisturbed in their reef habitat by visiting divers. Caribbean reef sharks are frequently seen cruising the depths off the walls at North West Point and West Caicos. Other close encounters you will come across in these two areas include horse-eyed jacks, the beautiful hawksbill turtles, bottlenose dolphins that have been in the area since the 1980s, magnificent spotted eagle rays, eels, groupers, and humpback whales frequently seen from January to March when they are migrating to the Silver Banks off the Dominican Republic to mate and calf.
