I'm planning a trip to Turks and Caicos this fall. I've been to Belize, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Key Largo and Maui. I'm looking to explore a new dive destination.
We were thinking about Beaches in Provo. I have two little kids and a non-diving wife so finding a place with a good beach that is kid friendly is top priority. Two quick tanks in the morning and spending the afternoon making sandcastles makes everybody happy. My wife and I like to snorkel together, and other snorkel/birdwatching/island exploration trips are also an important part of the trip.
My real, secret, top priority is great diving and finding a photo fiendly dive operator. I would also like to take some advanced photo courses (I've done the PADI photo course and shoot a DSLR).
How is the dive operator at Beaches? Are there any specialist photo operators on the island that offer dive trips and instruction? Is there a Cathy Church equivelent there?
Liveaboards are out of the question until the kids grow up and I get them certified. Pleanty of time for that later.
