Comments	Good: Personal service. Liked that the operation issued a dive bag for gear. They kept the dive bag, cleaned the gear and had it ready on the boat for the next dive. 2 Boats: One in good condition and one in fair to poor condition. It's a long ride out to West Caicos from Provo and a bumpy wet ride back into the prevailing winds. During our stay in early June, we were often the only two people on the boat. The operators were flexible and allowed us to dive how we wished. Diving on the wall is astounding in the scale. In many places, the top of the wall is in 75 feet. Currents were light and navigation is straightforward, once you find the wall. Despite the windy conditions, we were able to find sheltered waters to dive from. One safety note: My partner began the week using the patch to prevent seasickness. On the first dive at depth, she felt dizzy and faint. We aborted the dive, removed the patch and had no problems the remaider of our dives.
