    Recommend me a trip as a new diver

    I would echo the suggestion of Bonaire, easy diving with lots of life. Many quality dive operators there. Sunset house on Grand Cayman would be another recommendation. Nice house reef, great staff and solid boats.

    Provo dive op recommendation - single diver?

    I typically dive with Dive Provo and would recommend them. Given that you would prefer a smaller group check out Flamingo. They max out at 8 on the boat and they are solid. They fill up early so check soon. Other info on Provo just message me

    Turks and Caicos...Pricey...is it worth it?

    Tough to find a condo at that price. I love turks and go regularly. Diving is great. I usually dive with Dive Provo, great outfit. If you are looking for smaller boat Flamingo Divers max 8 divers but jane and Mickey book up really early. The turks and Caicos explorer is a great live aboard...

    Little Cayman or Providenciales for diving

    I am a Provo fan but a love a good boat ride. As others have said most sites require a decent ride. There is not really any shore diving from Provo. If you like sharks Provo is the way to go. If you can do a live aboard I would do the TCI Explorer. Last April 27 dives 26 of which had multiple...

    Tips for Providenciales in Turks and Caicos?

    I would echo most of the comments made earlier but would add the following: if you are looking for a quick and inexpensive lunch or afternoon snack hit the Patty Place in grace bay village. Most of the dive operators are great. I usually go with Dive Provo if not on a live aboard. Flamingo...

    Best of Caribbean for diving .

    Good summary drrich. I have been on the Turk and Caicos explorer and highly recommend this live aboard. I am partial to turks for vacations and diving but if you are looking for shore diving Bonaire or the Caymans may be a better choice.

    Beaches Turks and Caicos.

    I echo the comments from Mikeycanuck. You will save huge money by renting a villa. We usually rent on Sapodilla Bay and get a car then dive with Dive Provo, although Flamingo is a great option as well, come to think of it Caicos Adventures and Big Blue are good to. For the price Beaches charges...

    T&C question - French Cay VS. West Caicos?

    Love French Cay. Lots of sharks, last time out had a 30 minute dive with an adolescent turtle. G-Spot is probably my favourite site but Rock and Roll and Double D are very close. West Caicos is closer so the day is a little shorter. I agree with diversteve's comments as well. Did a live aboard...
