Turks and Caicos - May08

[alashas]

Nice pic! What are the accommodations and the meals like at Bohio? How is the beach there for non-divers?

Thanks, alashas http://honeymoon2.smugmug.com/

The accomodations and food are very good. The staff is excellent. The beach is great. One of our group is a non diver, who enjoys the beach. We did go to the ampitheater. To tell the truth, it is hard for me to tell the difference between one dive site and another.

The soft coral is excellent. I saw my first octopus today on my 81st dive. Lots of typical Caribbean fish (black durgon, parrotfish, grouper, angelfish, 4 eyed butterfly fish, stingrays, nurse sharks, trunkfish, porcupine fish, sea slugs, crabs and lobsters). We also saw a lionfish today which I don't recall in the Caribbean before.

The amphitheater has the sand chute that dumps you out at 90 feet over the 3000 foot drop...

The Lionfish is an invasive species that has quite a few people worried with its encrouchment into the Caribbean ecology.

Up around the Black Forest and Aquarium sites there are usually a couple of sea turtles hanging out. Down at I think rolling hills is where Alexander the Grouper greets divers.
