wanderlustgal:Jeep is needed to get to Malcolm's Beach. FYI its not the secluded beach it once was. Since our visit last year some resort has gone up where the Tiki Huts were for that game show. Lots more people out there whereas last year we had the place to ourselves. So much construction going on on the island from last year. We stayed at the Royal West Indies and last year you could see all the way down the beach with only low-lying resorts. Now they've got mammoth ones going up, its a shame. And far more people on the dive boats than last year.
wanderlustgal:Whoa! Were we on the same boat? I did the 3-tank on 4/27 and the 2-tank on 4/30 and 5/1. Oli was my DM all three days... he was great but had us chasing after eagle rays one day that wore me out. Did see about 6 reef sharks on one dive... ton's of sponge I think it was.
robbcayman:I'll be on Provo from May 13th-21st for our honeymoon. We'll be diving with Fifi so I'm glad you really liked him. Do you have any pics?? Any other suggestions?
TCB:I would definitely recommend a dinner at Hemingways. Make a reservation for an outside table at around 6:45-7:00 for a beautiful sunset dinner. Also, make sure you pick up a copy of the WhereWhenHow magazine and the companion dining guide. It helped us out alot.
Tim Ingersoll:You will find dining out to be a pricey option on Provo. We usually hit the grocery store the first day and stock up so the only meals we eat out are dinners.
