Double D Dive Site — Turks & Caicos
About Double D
Named after two large pinnacles rising from the depths, this French Cay site is a rich playground for pelagics. Strong currents attract reef sharks and dolphins, while schools of spadefish and horse-eye jacks swirl above. The pinnacles are covered in healthy hard and soft corals, barrel sponges, and brain corals. During January to April, divers can hear humpback whale song from migrating pods passing nearby. Black triggerfish dance in the sunlight near the surface during safety stops.
