Turks and Caicos

Besides having some of the best Caribbean beaches with baby powder sand, I had a blast diving in these warm and gentle waters of Turks and Caicos. This was almost the perfect vacation for me. Great diving every morning, perfect beaches every afternoon, and a great time with the family. The only thing lacking was the night life. This is a great place for you divers! Here are 3 of my favorite easy to get to sites from Provo.

Coral Gables -- A gentle slope to the wall allows divers to pick their depth. Sand chutes stop just below the top of the wall and give way to large stacks of coral, home to grunts, snappers and groupers.

Graceland -- This site has a large sand chute under the dive boat and a swim-through leading to the wall at 50ft. The wall has many buttresses and indentations with a good possibility of reef sharks swimming in the depths off the wall.

Aquarium -- Enormous schools of grunts and snappers form an almost continuous school on top of the wall at the Aquarium. The wall is an exaggerated spur and groove type formation with some spectacular sand chutes that run on down through the reef to a depth of around 100ft.

All of you Turks and Caicos fans out there please share your best sites with us. I will be going to this great spot again.
