Comments	Good: great wall, reef and drop off is interesting at all points, diving is on various sites on reef on lee side of West Caicos, no swell, no chop, no current, no problem getting on boat after dive. Excellent visability. VERY good staff, helped newly cetified diver (age 14) totally enjoy experience; kept watch on group to keep me from drifting to Cuba. Stable catamaran with lots of room, clean head, took time to assist sail boaters in need of fuel, on time. Bad: keep doing the good over and over. Would have liked to have tried a different area such as French Cay, but "same reef, same ocean wherever you go" and no swell, or chop, or current on lee of West Caicos. Live-a-Boards also dive same areas on lee of West Caicos, which tells you something. Marine Life: Sharks, morays, baracuda, grouper, beautiful little drum (got a picture), puffers, sand eels, cleaner shrimp, great variety of reef fish, on and on, wall was simply so much fun to dive. Some coral bleach in areas along sand bottom. Depth under boat 40-50 feet at reef edge 50-60 feet. overhangs, cuts, crevices along wall. Wish I would have known: UMMM maybe bring your regulator, mouthpiece of rental regulator came off when boarding boat - sucked up sea water, remember? check all gear, this includes mouthpiece attachment to regulator. Otherwise rental equipment in top shape. Nondiving family loved Turks & Caicos, going again next year.
