Turks and Caicos Photo Dive Operators?

2 posts
  1. 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.

  2. We went there last summer - stayed at the , and dived with "Dive Provo". I would call them photo friendly, but not an advanced photo dive operator. For example, they will have a fresh water camera only rinse tank, but that is about it. I would also say that they are a very professional outfit. Good boat, good staff, well organized.

     

    The diving there is also great. Lots of big stuff, and great visibility.

     

    We stayed at the Allegro which I wouldn't recommend, but we had a friend's wedding there.

     

    I believe there are a few on this board who live/work there, so I am sure they can provide better detail.

     

    Have a good one.
