WE STAYED ON "PROVO" IN A 1-BR CONDO AT THE ALEXANDRA AND DOVE WITH CAICOS ADVENTURES. WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK ON RATES, ETC, "FIFI" CLAIMED HE HAD THE BEST BOAT AND DOVE THE BEST SITES AROUND THE ISLANDS AND HE WASN'T LYING. WE DOVE 4 DAYS WITH HIM, AND THEY TOOK CARE OF OUR EQUIPMENT AND STORED IT EACH DAY. CAICOS ADVENTURES IS A FULL SERVICE DIVE OPERATION WHICH IS WHAT I LIKE. BECAUSE THEY DIVE WEST CAICOS REEF AND FRENCH CAY, WE HAD A 45 MIN BOAT RIDE OUT TO THE DIVE SITE. THIS WAS PLEASANT BECAUSE THE BOAT WAS COMFORTABLE AND THE WEATHER GREAT. "FIFI" CAPTAINED THE BOAT EACH DAY AND EVERYONE ENJOYED THE RIDE, BECAUSE HE WASN'T ON A TIME SCHEDULE, AND TOOK TIME SO WE COULD ENJOY THE DOLPHINS, ETC. WE LEFT THE DOCK AROUND 9AM AND RETURNED AROUND 2:30 AFTER COMPLETING 2 DIVES. SUBMARINE SANDWICHES WERE AVAILABLE AFTER EACH DIVE, SO WE WEREN'T STARVED WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE DOCK. SINCE THERE ISN'T MUCH ELSE TO DO ON THE ISLAND, THIS WAS PERFECT FOR US. |
