Comments	Flamingo Divers owners Mickey and Jayne do a great job of providing divers with a great experience. The boat trips from Provo to West Caicos (their primary diving site) take almost an hour. Diving consists of a trip over the wall and a cruise of the reef. They'll do 2 tanks unless all on the boat want to do a 3rd but I did not find them eager to do a 3rd tank so I would get that arranged in advance if you and your group will be using the whole boat. Nitrox is available but they do not do custom mixes. I found the diving to be better than I expected with a wide variety of fish and other critters. We even saw a few schools of fish. Harbour Club consists of 6 identical one-story, one-bath, one-bedroom villas with no phone and no ovens but all other items you will need. Barry & Marta make you feel at home and provide great company. The grounds are nicely landscaped with a wide variety of tropical flowers, a small pool and a covered patio featuring a large gas grill. The bedrooms are air conditioned but cross breezes kept us cool in early June so we did not use it. Mosquitos can be a problem so bring the DEET. It's a 15 minute drive to town or to the airport.
