Wall Dives
23 April 2012 | Provo, TCI
Lisa-cloudy and warm
Monday we took off early to take the really long dinghy ride to South Side Marina where Caicos Adventures is located. Dale had booked a 2 tank dive for us and luckily met another family that had a 6 yo boy who would gladly watch Wyatt while we were diving. Good times for all!!
I was very excited about diving in TCI (Turks and Caicos Islands) as it is supposed to be awesome. Well-I have to say our first dive was very disappointing. It was a wall but the coral was very brown and not a lot of fish either. We saw none of the "wow" fish other than Lion Fish which are bad news-invasive and destructive.
Another gal on the boat agreed and even told the guys that it wasn't a great dive site at all. So, we had high hopes for #2 and they delivered. An awesome wall, great colors, more fish. I did not see the sharks :-( but I saw a cool Flounder and some very pretty Parrot Fish, a Filefish and lots of others. We all agreed that the reef wall reminded us of Finding Nemo with the way it just dropped off to the great deep blue water. Cool!!
