    May 2009 Provo, TCI Trip Report

    Here are excerpts from a trip report I wrote for trip advisor... thought I would post it here as well. I just returned from my third trip to Provo. This was my second stay at the Alex (stayed at the RWI the first trip). What a great, relaxing trip. I already cannot wait for my fourth trip...

    If you could dive anywhere in the Caribbean where?

    I would consider either Belize, Provo (Turks and Caicos) or a liveaboard in the BVI (e.g., Cuan Law).

    Restaurants on Turks and Caicos (Provo)

    I'm actually going next week. My two favorite restaurants are Coyaba and Coco Bistro. I also plan to try Grace's Cottage (at Point Grace) this trip... I've heard da Conch Shack is a fun place for lunch (but it's a hike from Grace Bay).

    Best dives in the Caribe?

    Of course, that's a subjective question (and depends on what kind of diving you want to do) but generally speaking, my votes would go to: Bonaire, Turks & Cacios, Belize, Cayman Islands, & Virgin Islands

    TCI Provo.......where to stay?

    Royal West Indies is another good option.. I stayed there on my last visit and am doing so again this May for a week. Relatively speaking (since Provo is xpensive), it's a pretty good deal.. I got a rate of $180/night. Another option is Ocean Club, though I haven't stayed there. If you...

    Where to Go FIRST TRIP EVER

    I'm planning a trip to Bonaire sometime this summer and am considering staying at either the Plaza or Harbour Village. Another option for you is Aruba... very easy diving (little current, good ops). I took a few trips there when I was first starting to dive and thought it was ideal. I liked...

    Diving Conditions along the Gulf coast?

    I was considering a few dives this weekend somewhere between Gulf Shores and Pensacola (OB jetties, Whiskey, or maybe even the O)... I have heard that red tide was affecting the beach condition in those areas and although I am from the area, I'm not that famialar with it. How are the diving...

    Need some help with locations

    Since I also live in GA, one of my considerations is always "where can I get a direct flight on Delta". Also, alot depends on your budget and what you like to do when you're not diving (e.g., do you want a lot of night life, casinos, restaurants or do you prefer a quiet, more isolated place)...

    Thinking about Barbados. Any advice?

    I don't really have any advice for you since I have never been there but I thought I’d mention that I am traveling there in October. I’m staying at the Hilton (using points) and diving with Barbados Blue since they have a shop at the resort. I don’t plan to do too much research before the...

    BVI Diving

    I have dove with both UBS and Dive BVI and had great experiences with both shops... did the Rhone with Kate from UBS. While their boats were smaller, so were the groups. In fact, me and my friend were the only other people diving that day with Kate. Awesome trip!!

    Advice on Regulators

    I am in the market for a new reg. My current one was part of a package I bought when I first started diving (it’s a Dacor Viper) and have been relatively satisfied with it but am ready to try a new one. I do about 30 recreational dives/year, mostly in tropical conditions. I don’t...

    2006 SEC Football Discussion Thread

    Another Auburn fan here.. more worried about Arkie than I should be. This game has all the signs of a trap game (they're 2-0 SEC, early kickoff, we play UF next week, etc). If we can somehow survive this weekend, the AU/UF game will be HUGE - especailly if they can get by LSU. Lots of good...

    Dive Haven Georgia!!!

    Good to see their website up and running! I had planned to dive there twice over the weekend but an untimely ear drum infection kept me out of the water. But I’ll be up there as soon as I can…
