We've been to a number of places in the carribean: St. John, St. Thomas, Cozumel, Freeort & Nassau Bahamas, Aruba, Bonaire, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, Little Cayman. We did enjoy each one, they are like peaches and apples each one is a bit different. Turks and Caicos is not the Carribean but the Atlantic. we chose to go to Provo, it is the most developed of the T & C. It is less developed than all the above except for the Brac and Little Cayman. We like quiet. It was, the beach was nice. I think I would go again ( there are other places to visit first ). T & C have alot of building going on, its probably a matter of time before it too falls prey to the Pod people. We used Caicos Adventures which was recommended by this board. It was the right choice. We dove at West Caicos each day for a week and the only other boats we saw were the Aggressor, and the Sea Dancer. Diving was excellent, but it started deeper than all the places mentioned above, it started at 50 to 60 feet on the reef. We never were rushed to end a dive, almost all our dives were for more than one hour. The boat takes about 40 to 50 min. to get to West Caicos. A free pick up from where you stay and lunch is included. Each dive day is a two tanker. We were picked up at 8:20 ( always on time) and got back at 2:30 - 3:30. One day
( thursday) was a three tank. There were many restaurants to choose from, you'd want to rent a car. The Conch farm tour was interesting. The Ecco tour of iquana island is over priced and over done. There is alot for us to explore if we get to go back.
The bad - don't stay at Beaches, this was heard from those on our boat staying there. :balloon:
