Hello Scuba Board,

We are hoping to make a trip to Turks and Caicos. I read a good amount about Provo and Grand Turk and their respective dive sites. I understand Provo dives are further from the shore and Grand Turk dives are closer to the shore. Also, I have a good feel for the vibe of each area from my reading.

We like fishy sites, lots of corals. We like big fish specifically turtles and eagle rays, but don’t want to go to sites just for shark action. We like swim throughs but do not necessarily want to dive just to do swim throughs. We like interesting landscapes.

We plan to do a few days in Provo to do the West Caicos and French Cay dives, is it worth to go to Grand Turk just for diving the Grand Turk wall? We will be there in Feb during the migration, and not sure if that makes the Grand Turk wall extra special?

We are thinking of passing on diving at North West Point at Provo. Black coral forest dive spot sounds interesting, but it seems we may see a lot of the North West Point stuff on West Caicos. Would you agree?

Your personal experiences would be helpful to hear. Tired of chatting with the bots.
