McDonald's Arch dive site in Turks & Caicos

About McDonald's Arch

Part of the Columbus National Marine Park, this Grand Turk dive site features incredible arches and swim-throughs covered in sponges and corals. The reef begins at 15 metres and slopes to 30 metres. Swimming through the large archway reveals massive schools of glass-eye snappers and French grunts. Green and hawksbill turtles frequently pass through, while reef sharks can be spotted cruising along the wall edge.
