Dive
Provo's PADI Five Star dive center is located at the Ports of Call shopping
complex, which is adjacent to Comfort Suites & centrally located to
all of the Grace Bay area resorts. Divers enjoy complimentary transfers
from their hotel to the dive shop and to the docks to meet the dive boats.
In addition to a solid supply of rental gear, the dive shop carries snorkeling
equipment, shirts, bathing suits, hats, sunscreen products, sundries and
a variety of gift items for purchase.
Dive
Provo operates 3 modern boats. The Provo Conquest (left) & Provo Crusader
are both 36 ft Newton dive boats with plenty of shade and a comfortable
seating area up top with the captain. The Provo Challenger has a slightly
narrower beam and is a favorite for private charters. Dive boat amenities
include showers, rinse tanks, platform & ladders, VHF radio and safety
equipment. Fresh drinking water, flavored drinks and snacks are available
free of charge on all dives. A light lunch is provided for the longer
south side trips.
Dive
Provo offers daily 2-tank dive trips to Northwest Point, West Caicos,
French Cay, Pine Cay, Sandbore Channel or Grace Bay. Dive boats depart
from the docks at Turtle Cove Marina for diving along Provo's north shore,
and from a dock on the south side of the island for trips to West Caicos
and French Cay. Pick up time at the various hotels is 8:00 am, returning
to your hotel any time between 1:00 & 3:30 pm depending upon the destination.
The south side trips have the later return times.
Single
tank dives in Grace Bay are also scheduled every afternoon at 2:00 pm.
3-tank dive days, snorkeling trips, night dives and private charters are
also gladly arranged on demand. After each dive the staff takes care of
all gear; cleaning it, storing it at day's end, then delivering it to
the boat for the next day's outing. Dive Provo is a PADI 5 Star Resort,
an SSI Partner in Paradise and a Universal Referral training facility.
A full range of courses and certifications is offered. Nitrox (and Nitrox
certification) is available.
Dive
Provo is dedicated to providing guests with convenient and trouble-free
diving. The professional Dive Provo staff knows that experienced divers
want the freedom to plan and execute their own dives, explore at their
own pace and enjoy the reef without having to follow a group of other
divers. Newer divers are offered advice on buoyancy control and navigation
and may prefer to follow the guide in the water, but most soon learn that
they see more underwater and enjoy the sport more if they are allowed
to control their own dive. This philosophy of diving freedom has ensured
Dive Provo a core repeat clientele and many word of mouth recommendations.
