Turks and Caicos is famous for its turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and world-class marine life. While most visitors explore the ocean through snorkeling or scuba diving, there’s a new and exciting way to experience the underwater world — Subwing diving. At Surf TCI, we’re proud to offer this unique, thrilling, and unforgettable adventure.
Whether you’re looking for adrenaline, relaxation, or simply a new way to enjoy the sea, Subwing diving in Turks and Caicos delivers an experience like no other.
What Is Subwing Diving?
Subwing diving is a water sport where you hold onto a specially designed board — called a Subwing — while being gently towed behind a boat. The board has two wings that you control by tilting and angling with your arms. With subtle movements, you can dive, spin, and glide underwater like a dolphin, all at your own pace.
Unlike scuba diving or snorkeling, Subwing allows you to move freely and fluidly through the water. It’s peaceful, almost meditative — and at the same time, incredibly exhilarating.
Why Turks and Caicos Is the Best Place for Subwing Diving
The calm, clear, and shallow waters of Turks and Caicos make it one of the best places in the world for Subwing diving. The islands offer visibility over 100 feet, mild ocean currents, and warm year-round temperatures, creating ideal conditions for an underwater adventure.
Here are just a few reasons why Turks and Caicos is perfect for this activity:
- Incredible marine life: Glide past coral reefs, stingrays, starfish, turtles, and colorful tropical fish.
- Warm, clear water: Visibility is crystal clear, perfect for spotting ocean creatures.
- Safe, shallow sites: Many of our tour spots are in calm, shallow bays ideal for beginners and families.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned ocean explorer, Turks and Caicos offers the perfect environment for a smooth and safe Subwing experience.
What to Expect on a Subwing Tour
We specialize in creating memorable ocean experiences for all skill levels. Our Subwing tours are designed to be fun, safe, and accessible, whether you’re 10 years old or 65.
Here’s what your tour includes:
Pre-tour briefing
Before hitting the water, our experienced guides will give a short and simple briefing. You’ll learn how to hold the Subwing, how to control your movement, and what hand signals to use while in the water.
Easy boat tow
You’ll be gently towed behind our boat at slow speeds — typically around 2-4 knots. This makes the experience safe and relaxing, not fast or overwhelming.
Glide, spin, and dive
Once you’re comfortable, you can try dives, barrel rolls, and spins — or simply enjoy the peaceful glide above the reef.
Optional GoPro footage
Want to capture your underwater adventure? We offer GoPro video packages, so you can relive the magic or share it with friends and family.
Small group sizes
We believe in personalized experiences, which is why we keep our tour groups small. You’ll get more attention, more time in the water, and more fun.
