Turks and Caicos Dive Days

My last 3 days on the Caicos platform were specifically for SCUBA diving! Turks and Caicos has a beautiful wall to dive off of and I got to dive off the West point of Provo as well as the wall on West Caicos! Both spots were amazing with lots of sharks, corals, sponges, and fish. If you ever get the change to dive a wall like this, take it! It is absolutely fabulous, on the one side is a gorgeous reef, and on the other, deep blue water, kilometers deep!


Flounder!






"hook 'em"
Hiding behind the sponges!
Very cool spiney flower coral (Mussa angulosa)

Me and the awesome divemaster (the fish photos, pics of me and the movies are all his)

There were loads of sharks!



And some really cool fish (a flying Gurnard)







Now.... over the platform edge into the deep blue!



Down through a sediment bypass channel!



The West Caicos edge has a very steel reef wall!!!


And a little ledge choc-a-bloc with amazing platy corals!


 How awesome are those?!? SO AWESOME!




I got a little excited about taking photos of the platy corals!

 Evil Lionfish....


After the dives I had the afternoons to myself, what better way to relax than to find myself an ooid beach!

Long Bay Beach


Makin' ooids!

Toes for scale!

Oh Caicos platform.... you are fabulous!
