My first shots of life on South Caicos

View from The Rigatta

An old salt shed, mainly destroyed now from storms. Salt used to be the major export of South Caicos before salt was still being collected from the ocean.

This old drained pool, fondly nicknamed "The Boneyard," used to be attached to a dive shop before it was destroyed by Hurricane Irene. Now the boneyard is used by SFS students and staff as a gym.

Salt and storms damage a lot of the property on South Caicos, from houses to cars everything has worn down feel.

The Sphynx is a rock formation seen off the South side of the island.

Miss May's house used to be owned by the governor of the Turks and Caicos who would have taken permanent residence on the main island of Provo if his wife and him had not been so attached to South Caicos.

The one and only medical facility on the island.

The island is over run with wild dogs, horses and donkeys. How they survive on scraps and mere drops of fresh water is a mystery, but their sad eyes will break your heart every time.

My first attempt at underwater photography was a little rough but a lot of fun.

 

These were taken on a snorkel through "Admirals Aquarium," a reef two minutes away from the center by boat.
