Turtle Cove Marina, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos

Today we had to return the car by 11am, so I decided to get up early and do a run to the coin laundry that we saw the day before in downtown Provo (as it is known locally). It was definitely a locals place and seemed to be as much about catching up with the neighbours as doing your laundry. Although I felt a bit of an outsider I wasn’t made to feel unwelcome and took the opportunity to knock off a few more pages of Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd, the 1344 page epic I am currently wading through.

We went to Provo Turtle Divers based at the marina in the afternoon to enquire and hopefully book in for a couple of days of diving. At 124$ per person per day for two morning dives it is not exactly cheap, but we decided to make the most of diving here having heard many recommendations.

A quiet evening in ready to get up early to sort out our diving kit to be ready at the shop for 8am for our days diving tomorrow.

Turtle cove is pretty cool and VERY local feeling.

But if you have a chance, definitely visit middle caicos. We'd visited there last year and loved just how stark and empty the middle caicos were.

Extra points if you get a chance to see the middle caicos cave. It's not a big site or overly extravagant. But the old guy who gives the tours is very interesting and well worth spending some time talking to. There's also an amazing beach (whos name i've forgotten) near the cave that is MORE THEN WORTH the trip to middle caicos. Super secluded and absolutely beautiful.
