Recommendations in Turks & Caicos

I will be going to the Turks & Caicos in late January. I need a recommendation for a dive operator. I will be staying at a place on Grace Bay.

There will be 3-4 of us and we want to a private boat and two dive instructors / guides for our group. There are a lot of dive companies in T&C and I am not sure who we should use. One of us (me) is particularly interested in UW photography.

Does anybody have any favorites there?

Hi Nathan,

I normally dive with Flamingo divers, there are the smallest dive shop in Provo and they run a small boat but they don't take more than six to seven divers. The couple the run the dive center are great and they are very helpful with underwater photographers.

The other dive shop I use is Provo Turtle divers, the owner Dave is an underwater photographer too and they run a great dive operation. Their dive boat it is bigger but very spacious.

Big blue is a great operation too but their are more expensive. There are few more dive operations in Provo but i Had never dove with them.

I hope this helps.

Here's a link to a wealth of information quickly accessed, for a trip on short notice, http://www.undercurrent.org/...

Thanks for the recommendations. Flamingo is unavailable on those dates. Provo Turtle divers is available and is probably who I will use. Several of the opertors only seem to have very large boats which make the cost pretty high for just 3 or 4 people.

I will look at Undercurrent.

Hi Nathanm,

You will be happy with Provo Turtle Divers, I was diving with them this past Sunday and I had a great time.

Please let me know when you are here and if you want, you can join me for a night dive a Coral Gardens, it is shallow reef on Grace Bay beach but great for underwater photography. You can find sometimes squid, reef octopus, green turtles, etc...

David.
