Where to stay in Turks and Caicos?

[sueber]

My husband and I are planning a dive trip to Turks and Caicos the first week of December this year. We prefer someplace comfortable, clean and casual, with a good dive operation nearby and close to the best dive sites. Any suggestions?

Just got back yesterday. Stayed at Ocean Club West, dove with Dive Provo, which is within walking distance, but they'll pick up,and drop off as well. I just did a thumbnail review here http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/greater-caribbean-bermuda/462508-great-week-diving-tci.html

Also did reviews in TripAdvisor of both, as well as all the restaurants and activities we did. PM me for my TA screen name.

We stayed at West Indies Resort. Also within walking distance of dive Provo. We used both Dive Provo and Flamingo Divers. Both were good, but I preferred Flamingo as they were a smaller op that would go out to West Caicos.

OK, T/C is one of the places I'm wanting to go someday but my notes say that Grand Turk is the place to go for the best diving and possible some shore diving. Is this incorrect or does it not matter where you go in that area, it's all good.

Assuming you mean Provo, then the Royal West Indies Resort is my pick, especially the one-bedroom, ocean view units. They are completely equipped with American Kitchens and even a w/d and a large balcony to watch sunsets over the ocean. Nice to keep your favorite beverages and goodies handy and do breakfast before heading out.

Dive Provo is across the street and they will pick you up (they valet your gear also) and take you to one of their boats. They keep boats on both sides of the island to shorten run times, excellent operation.

If the RWI resort (or any of the other beach condos) is a bit much for the budget then the Comfort Suites has been modeled lately and is, well, comfortable. It's not on the beach but shares the parking lot with Dive Provo and a number of shops. Dive Provo and some of the other ops have dive/hotel packages and are usually better than you can put together yourself.

Ports of Call is right behind Dive Provo. We stayed at a house right behind the resort if you rent houses. Very handy and private, a quick jaunt to the Whole Foods otherwise known as Graceway IGA.

I've stayed at the Sands at Grace Bay. It's very comfortable and laid back.
