Newbie from Nashville

[scubagal49]

Born and raised in San Diego and spent 44 years there. Moved to Nashville and took up diving. Weird, isn't it?? Oh well. I'm headed for Turks and Caicos in May and would like some opinions on the best dive ops/most comfortable boats/best dive sites and any other information you'd like to add. Water temp over Memorial weekend?? Can I dive w/o wetsuit?

Thanks in advance. Good to be here with people who share the love!!

I won't be much help with your question, but welcome to ScubaBoard - Someone will be along shortly I'm sure to give you temps etc for your trip. In the meantime, have a great time searching the boards (might even answer your own question along the way)

Have fun and Welcome!

Aloha, Tim

Welcome to the board. I haven't been there either, so I'm no help.

Can't help with your question, but I can say welcome to SB! You have found the right place to ask however. I'm sure others out there can help. If you don't get a response here, post your question in the forum focused on the area you'll be diving.

Good luck.

Howdy and welcome to SB!

If the water is warm enough for your personal tolerances, you can dive without a suit - and learn why so many don't. OUCH!

Good to have you here. Click here to PM me if I can help you get started in our various forums.

I got one on you. I lived for four years in Hawaii and never even stuck my big toe into the water. Now I live in Korea and took up scuba diving. Go figure.

Welcome to the board!
Seems like I was in T&C in May a few years back. I dove with out a wet suit and was comfortable. Both of my trips to T&C were on liveaboards so I can't help you with an operator. I know one of the operators there, a really good guy but his name plum evades me right now....maybe Provo Turtle Divers or just Provo Divers....am I a lot of help or what?
Be sure and dive the Thunder Dome. The beach at the Thunder Dome is great too if you get a chance do your SI there.
