Have you heard about the incredible liveaboard diving in Turks & Caicos yet? Not many divers have discovered this diving destination in the Caribbean but it will not be long before the secret is out - make this your choice for your next Caribbean scuba diving holiday and you will not be disappointed. With over 40 islands (only 8 of which are inhabited) to explore, the quality of diving will astound even the most seasoned diver. There are dramatic wall dives, opulent corals and sponges, pelagic encounters and healthy reef dives to enjoy. And with the Turks & Caicos Explorer as your liveaboard home for the week, you really can get away from it all on a perfect voyage through the many island and cays. Spoil yourself totally and experience the Caribbean as it is meant to be seen.

The Turks & Caicos Explorer accommodates 20 passengers in 10 cabins. There are 3 twin cabins with a larger lower bed and upper single bunk on the lower deck of the ship. On the main deck there are 5 cabins - 2 of which have standard twin beds and 3 of which have a queen bed Finally upstairs there are the 2 VIP cabins, both of which have queen sized double beds . All cabins have private AC and ensuite.

The saloon and dining area are welcoming but it is the covered sun deck where many guests spend their time not diving. There is also a BBQ up here which will be fired up at least once during the trip. The all important dive deck has been carefully thought out to give all divers the room they need. Kit lockers, camera table and large rinse tanks are just some of the important features. All diving is done from the boat making entries and exits simple and stress free. A giant stride and you enter a lavish scene. There are over 1000 square miles of coral reef to discover so the dives come thick and fast.

Itinerary Details

Jump aboard a liveaboard in Turks & Caicos and cruise North West Point, West Caicos and French Cay in a single week - this is one action packed trip including deep walls, lavish corals and plenty of marine life big and small

Provo to Provo Description

Jump aboard a liveaboard in Turks & Caicos and you will witness first hand what makes this diving holiday just so special. Set yourself free from the constraints of day diving as you cruise North West Point, West Caicos and French Cay in a single week. These 3 locations are one of the Caribbean's best kept secrets and now, thanks to Scuba Travel's liveaboard options, you too can see just what all the fuss is about. Deep walls, astonishing coral and sponge formations and abundant marine life make the Provo to Provo itinerary a must see, even for those who have dived extensively throughout the rest of the Caribbean.

There is nothing pedestrian about the diving on the Provo to Provo itinerary. Kick the week off at North Point West and you will quickly get a taster of what this trip is all about. And as the week goes on it just keeps getting better. French Cay is the undeniable star of this show and for most divers, the highlight of the week. The deep water channels that pass between the Caribbean and Atlantic intersect here so pelagics are seen aplenty. Want to see reef sharks? G Spot is the place to head for thrills. Turtles are common as are southern sting rays and nurse sharks, which mate in the shallow come late summer. Eagle rays are found on many sites but so are passing manta so keep your eyes open in the blue. That is if you can wrench them off the walls! Dripping in soft corals and enormous elephant ear sponges, the topography alone is impressive and healthy. Droves of snapper, jacks and tangs swarm across the reef. Lobsters and octopus shelter during the day under the many overhangs or crevasses cut into the reef.

The Provo to Provo itinerary is suitable for all experience levels but there are a lot of steep walls so good buoyancy control is essential. Incredible visibility and warm year round water guarantee good conditions whenever you visit although you can find some currents. With up to 5 dives a day, the Provo to Provo itinerary will appeal to anyone that wants to be logging bottom time! Lose yourself in the splendour of the diving as you move from rich wall to fun cracks and tunnels to swim through, shark dives to scenic reef tops buzzing with life. No matter if you love macro or big fish, there are dives that will exhilarate and make you fall in love all over again with diving.
