Exceptionally beautiful, and world-class by any standard, these pristine sites presented barracuda on every dive, sea turtles, lobsters, green moray eels, giant sponges and visibility of 100 feet or more. The spur and groove coral formations, mini walls and fascinating fish life of Grace Bay has much to offer. An area that is good for either macro or wide angle photography is Pine Cay. It was here that I met with a large nurse shark resting on the bottom. For fifteen minutes I was able to swim over the reef alongside this shark.
Tropical vacations are never long enough.
But if one ever needed a prescription to beat North America's winter blues, then a quick escape to dive the turquoise waters surrounding the Turks and Caicos Islands could be just what the doctor ordered. Skirting the resort's waterfront doorstep are twelve miles of powdery, white-sand beaches to stroll upon. The Turquoise Reef Resort offers many dining options from elegant gourmet cuisine to open-air tropical casual, as well as, a full range of services and amenities including the only casino on Provo. Meeting facilities can accommodate up to 380 persons. Along with Dive Provo, a PADI 5-Star dive facility, full watersports activities are featured including windsurfing, waterskiing, parasailing, deep sea fishing, kayaking and sailing.
