Endymion
The Endymion was a British 44-gun fifth-rate vessel that sank at Salt Cay in 1790. The survivors are said to have assisted in the construction of Deans Dock on Salt Cay. A must-do for any scuba diver. It was finally used as the name for the shipwreck's site. Endymion Rock is the most popular wreck diving location among Turks and Caicos visitors.
It's 40 feet (12.5 meters) deep and has the wreck's anchors and chains. Heavy chains, cannons, and massive anchors can be seen through the crystal clear water. There are various arches, ledges, and lovely coral in the surrounding region, where colorful Caribbean fish swim.
You may make this a thrilling 2-for-1 experience by remembering that the General Pershing was shot down in 1921 on the same rock (now known as Endymion Rock). One of the first shipborne diesel engines can be found on this wreck. Several massive anchors, hefty chains, a slew of guns, and at least one cannon ball from Endymion can all be seen.
There are also traces of coal that was brought by one of the ships. When compared to local Salt Cay locations, this site has a larger variety and number of fish species. With a wonderful arch to swim under, ledges to explore, and little coral walls with sandy patches in between, the terrain is intriguing.
