Scuba Diving Turks & Caico's is every diver's dream. It has such marine life diversity in its unspoiled waters. You can see everything from Blennie's and Angelfish to Sharks and Dolphins. Diving in the Turks & Caico's has something for everyone, mind boggling walls, colorful coral reefs and even a few wrecks. The visability was the best I had ever seen. Crystal clear blue water with a ratio of 100 to 180 feet. We stayed in Provo and dove with Dive Provo. They had 2 dive shops. The main one was right across the street from Comfort Suites which had packages available. The smaller dive shop was located at Allegro Resort. What a wonderful dive company! Not once did I have to lift my equipment nor set it up. The divemasters were very patient and helpful, taking into consideration everyone's safety. In fact, it was manditory to dive with a computer even if you had your own gauge. If you didn't own a comuter, no problem, they will rent you one for $25.00 a day. After the dive's, there's no need to break down the equipment & haul it back to your room. Dive Provo took care of that and stored your gear as well so that it was all set up & ready to go the next morning. The only drawback with diving from Provo was the long distances you had to travel in order to get to the dive sites. If you had chosen to stay in Grand Turk, your at the dive site within 15 to 20 minutes.
You don't have to bring a thing. All of the dive shops have mask, fins, snorkel, wetsuit, BCD's and the like for rent. Of course I always recommend that most divers own their own mask, snorkel's and fins to get the best fit and avoid complications on a dive. Most of the dive shops had T-shirts and trinkets for sale along with other necessitaties such as defogger, sunblock, and a few landards just to name a few.

I dove with both Provo Turtle Divers and Dive Provo. The former was slightly better, but you would not go wrong with either. The ships are new and well-maintained, with experienced and friendly insturctors.
One nice aspect of Provo Turtle was their generous and complementary snack service following the morning dives, which helps curb your appetite as you head back to shore.
Both operators run free shutle buses from the hotels to their marina.
Both oeprators rent equipment, or you can bring your own. Note that you are REQUIRED to have your own dive computer, or rent it for $10 from the operators. Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba Diving

Mitch Rolling introduced me to diving and I loved it! Fantastic diver and instructor, he initiates or develops your diving in the warm waters and gorgeous sceneries around the island.
Made my business trip a fantastic experience and I got my PADI open water diver certification!

If you're ready for a change from diving -- or just avoiding a dive prior to flying out -- try the Club Med day pass. For $75 a day, you can spend a total of 3 hours on the flying trapeze, as well as enjoy tennis courts, organized beach and water volleyball games, a buffet lunch and free drinks (when trapeze is done, of course).
The equipment was well-maintained and the team was professional. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Grace Bay Beach Club Med
