I'll be heading to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos soon and am looking for a good (non cattle boat) dive operator as well as any don't miss dive spot recommendations you all may have. Any tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Been going for years. Caicos Adventures is the best.

You are gonna get a flood of responses....Fifi and Caicos Adventures is the way to go. Great boat and amenities.
Ocean Vibes is my personal recommendation. Small boat. Personal service. Knows the places go. Have dove with him, Wayne, several times. Very laid back and tailors dives to those diving with him.

One thing I have learned over the years is that some dive operators actually give perks to people/U.S. dive shops to "talk up" their operation on boards like this. Therefore, I would explore your choices thoroughly.

Caicos Adventures was great when we were there. We would definately use them again.

I resent that implication. I have been diving with Fifi for over a decade. I don't know of one instance where he has paid off someone to talk up his op. He doesn't have to he runs the best one on the island and he knows it. The fact that there are no negative reviews on this Board should be proof enough.
Tim,
I did not intend to strike a nerve with you or Fifi, but something obviously struck you as personal in my comment. As with any opinion, not everyone likes the same things or ways of doing things....especially diving.
ONESPEED, based on 1000 logged dives, I assume would have a very personal preference on how to dive. He/She probably knows what to look for in their preferred dive operator.
I have never dove with Fifi, therefore I will not offer an opinion for or against. My comment was just general input for any diver doing research. To look at all the opinions and check them out personally if possible by internet, email, and/or phone. Because, whether we like it or not, diving is a business and this is free advertising space targeted towards divers....which I have learned personally.
Peace,
Tony

I had a great experience with Provo Turtle Divers. Very personal service, they respected the skill of the individual divers and helped those with less experience. There was no more than 6-8 of us on the boat, the lunch was tasty and the knowledge of the dive sites was excellent.
