Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / January 2005South Caicos
If anyone is interested in a trip to South this late spring or summer, let me know. I want to put together a group of about six for an eight night, seven day trip. Hotel, diving (7x3 per day) and food will be about $1500. About $200 less for two dives per day. All are single tank dives so the whole day is basically diving. Five to ten minute rides to the dive sites. Conditions will be VERY BASIC -- think DIVE DUMP. Also, diving will probably be from a relatively small boat. It is, however, probably the best diving in the Caribbean. Forest, are you there?

We went there for a day on our Wind Dancer trip and I like Grank Turk better. Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. You really did not dive there if you went on the Dancer. They didn't know the sites and twenty divers hitting the water will scare anything away. We would sit on the hotel deck and laugh our a.ses off at where the Dancer was taking its divers. The only decent spot it went is the Grotto (aka Eagle Ray Roundup). That site, however, is very sensitive to crowds. I have pictures of it with squads of 20+ Eagle Rays swimming above; 8 foot wing span southern rays; multiple reef sharks. You get the picture! (pun, pun). Turtles? I have never been to South where we didn't see dozens in a week; usually at least one on every dive. Do you seriously think that a day of dives at a location gives one a perspective to make a knowledgeable judgement? I have about a hundred dives at South and perhaps twenty on Grand Turk. South is much better. If you don't believe me, don't come. I don't care. > "Chris Pflaum" <cpflaum@everestkc.net> pounded away at his keyboard > resulting in: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Dan Bracuk > If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

Interestingly, I came independently to the SAME conclusion as Dan. :-) It was a refuge dump back in 1995. Even if they cleaned it up, the dive sites are not comparable to the better ones in other islands of Turks and Caicos, e.g., the French Cays. -- Bob.

Sounds good. Keep me posted on details. |
