Turks/Caicos recommendation?

[tomich]

I'm going down to the Turks and Caicos this Thanksgiving for a week. Any recommendations on diving locations and companies (especially multi-day deals)?

Thanks in advance!

Have been there twice. We stayed at Club Med, but would not recommend the dive op there. I think the other ops are good, but can't remember their names. Try a search using Turks and Caicos. I remember several posts listing names. The dive op we dove with was owned by a guy named Fifi and they were terrific.

Definitely, do the West Caicos dives. They are fabulous, vis was over 100 ft several dives.

A very fine op. Please tell Fifi that I send my best.

Have fun.

Been going to Provo every year for ten plus years. Caicos Adventures is the premier dive outfit on the island. If its about the diving dive with CA.

Thanks for all the responses and suggestion.

My only other questions are:

1) While I was down there, I was thinking of doing my Advanced OW certification. Has anybody actually had any instruction with Caicos Adventures?

2) How is "Dive Provo"? The only reason I ask is that I have a PADI coupon with them.

Won't comment on other dive ops since I have only dove with Provo Turtle Divers and Caicos Adventures. Do a search on the board and you will find for yourself. I repeat that if its about the diving then CA is the only op IMHO. I did my AOW with CA two years ago. They did a first rate job. Two students to one instructor. Nothing but good things to say.

We went several years ago and dove with the Turtle Divers at Ocean Club and with Dive Provo. Definitely preferred Dive Provo. Much more attentive service and a more interesting dive.
