Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Not a standard snorkel stop - open-ocean exposure, boat-only access, and wall depth make it primarily a scuba site

Safety notes

Current/surge at the drop-off, long open-ocean boat crossing, remote location; French Cay itself is a protected Sanctuary (no landing without permit); no touching/feeding of sharks or rays

Permits & fees

TCI National Parks Ordinance dive/snorkel tariff applies (set annually by the Dept. of Environment & Coastal Resources/DEMA, gazetted, normally bundled into the operator's trip price - exact $ amount not published); French Cay is a designated Sanctuary/Nature Reserve requiring a DEMA permit to land on the island itself

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
