Turks
& Caicos Diving for Advanced and Experienced Divers
We
cater to experienced divers. Our whole philosophy and business has
been built around a quality product for experienced divers. This
principal starts right from the beginning: we are truly the most
progressive dive operator in Turks and Caicos for exploring and
diving "the most pristine" dive sites. Each day, we set
off for a 30 to 45 minute boat ride to find the best site, given
that days conditions.We
do not want to spoil your dive vacation by taking you to a fantastic
dive site and telling you, "don't go below 100 feet" or
"maximum time is 40 minutes". This is not our style.
If you are clearly advanced or experienced, buddy up and the "pool
is open". Most experienced divers will have average dives of
over 60 minutes, and be limited primarily by deco time and of course
the depth limit depending on your level of certification. For the
first dive or two of the week, if you do not have total confidence
navigating the dive site, feel free to trail one of our guided groups
from a distance. You have your freedom, without the hindrance of
having to find the boat at the end of the dive.
Generally speaking,
most experienced divers have a natural propensity to want to "go
deep", it usually does not pay off to go below 100 feet (unless
of course your chasing something big-- a six pod of eagle ray?).
Most wall terrain starts to diminish (from a coral and wildlife
point of view) at about 100 feet. Most of the big fish are up at
the thermal forms between 40 and 70 feet. Since most of the action
is in this 40 to 70 foot range so the natural preference is to make
a longer dive rather than a deeper dive. We'll let you decide for
yourself however.
We
recognize that most good divers are not limited by their air supply,
but rather their deco time. This scenario is why we provide Nitrox
as an optional air supply to you. Dive longer on your 2nd or 3rd
dive using Nitrox, without deco limiting you so quickly (as compared
to regular air). Dive all the time with Nitrox, 2nd tank only, any
configuration you want. For experienced divers who have never tried
Nitrox, don't be bashful. Our friendly staff, will educate you,
walk you through the differences, and set you up in confidence-
that is why we are here, we are here for you! See Nitrox
Program.
