I am considering a family vacation this summer and we are thinking about going to Turks/Caicos. While I am an AOW diver,my wife and 2 kids are beginners (kids not yet certified). This vacation would not be predominantly a diving trip but rather a cool 7 day vacation where we would dive a couple of days.
It looks like Grand Turk might have the easiest/shallow diving which would be good for beginner divers. However, on Grand Turk we may have to deal with cruise ships.
The west end of Caicos looks like it might be a for more comfortable place to stay. However, it looks like the dives might be deeper. My wife is definitely a shallow only diver (less than 60 feet). Kids too since they would be newly certified.
Questions:
1) Would staying on Grand Turk mean that we would probably encounter cruisers? Is that really much of a problem on GT?
2) Is it easy to fin shallow reef dives on the west end (around Dive Provo)?
