We used (and will always use) Dive Provo.

We have travelled the Carribean extensively in the last 2 1/2 years. Been to T&C, FLA Keys, Coz, Mayan Riviera, GC, Aruba, US Virgins, Bahamas, St. Maarten, Belize, Cuba and the list goes on! Dive Provo was the best op and the best diving we have done. By the end of the week, they weren't "staff", they were freinds.

They also keep boats on both sides of the islands and go everywhere in terms of dive sites. This op was never afaid to take you well out and take a fair bit of time getting there. Their priority was always your diving, not thier quick profits.

Great boats too - you won't find better ones.

The one thing I liked the most in thw week we where there, after day one, never touched my gear. We stayed at the Allegro where they were based and every afternnon we would see them bring everyones gear back up - give it a good rinse then hang it up to dry. By the time you get to the boat in the morning - it's already on the tanks, you fins neetly tucked below and everything ready to go.

Never seen another operator do that. A full week of never touching my gear, never rinsing it, never lugging it around - ah it was heaven!!!! Believe me, I was skeptical, so we watched them - they really rinsed, stored and handled our gear like it was thier own.

Dive Provo = Fantastic Op - the best we have ever used anywhere!!!

Caicos Adventures also takes care of your gear. Many operators do that.

Beaches is called the ZOO by the locals at the Turks and Caicos. Full of kids and families. Yikes. THis is not a bad thing just be aware if you book Beaches and don't have kids it may be a bit much.
Ocean Culb has two resorts West is the Newest and is beside a new Condo Development in the Construction Phase and the other just Ocean Club was one of the original resorts on Provo and is a bit out of the way.
The best place to stay in the Turks for $$ Value and no Construction as well as overall is the Royal West Indies.....
For a less expensive option the Comfort Suites is great thats where I stayed, I was there to dive and dive so it worked well for me. Clean rooms, nice pool area, nice relaxed lounge and at the Ports of Call so there are restaurants and a 1 block walk to the beach. Right beside Caicos Adventures.
The dive outfit I dove with was Caicos Adventures, what a catamaran, great interval food and beverages, ASA is the most incredible DM (15' Hammerhead was the most exciting). Fifi the owner is a hoot.
Enjoy the Turks and if you have time drive out to Long Bay and have some quiet time.
Great restaurants on Provo, no need for AI and the locals are great and extremely friendly.

Dive Deep and Experience every second as thought it were your last

We used (and will always use) Dive Provo. Great boats too - you won't find better ones.

Glad you enjoyed the experience. IMHO though the Caicos Adventures catamarran beats any dive platform I have been on in over 130 dives! It surely beats the Dive Provo boats for comfort and style.
