Excursions

Divers vacationing in Provo have an opportunity to visit some of the most dramatic wall dives in the entire Caribbean/Atlantic region. Imagine diving at 40’ in crystal clear water, over nothing but blue, until all disappears into the depths. This is wall diving, and in Provo, with warm, clear water and small currents, the incredible diving around Provo can accommodate all diver levels. The mini wall slopes down to about 110’, where it gives way to a broad sandy plateau before the wall falls again into the abyss. More dramatic wall dives where the bottom drops steeply away just under the boat are North West Point, West Caicos, and French Cay.

All these areas are part of a continuous barrier reef protecting the islands, and marine life is abundant everywhere all along the reef. Turtles, parrotfish, yellow tangs, French angelfish, and blue hamlets are just a few of the unique and mysterious marine life that inhabit the magnificent underwater world of the Turks and Caicos.

Whether a dive traveler or a “once-a-year-on-vacation” diver, Dive Provo staff do their utmost to ensure guests have a safe, quality experience. Dive Provo’s regular dive schedule includes a 2-tank morning boat dive daily. There is also a single-tank boat that dives to Grace Bay in the afternoons and 3-tank full-day trips once a week. If you want something exceptional, private charters are also available.

If it is a while since you have been in the water or are a little apprehensive, a quick pool refresher the day before your planned dive is recommended and easily arranged. Quickly going over the basics, you learned on your certification course and practicing these skills in the pool significantly increases the success and enjoyment of your dives.

If you are not yet a diver, you can experience the wonders of the underwater world by taking a Resort Course. Supervised by experienced, qualified staff, for many people, this memorable excursion is the highlight of their vacation.
