Providenciales, West Caicos and French Cay
Aliwal Shoal
Raggies Cave is a large cave and the best spot to view big groups of ragged-tooth sharks during the winter months. There is an important etiquette rule that visiting divers should know – though sharks are not overly aggressive, divers may not enter the cave when the sharks are in residence. But there is a great viewing area near the entrance, where divers can safely watch the activities of the sharks. The moment the sharks leave the cave, divers can enter and explore its interior and also look for sharks teeth in the sand.
