Comments	We have been to Provo for five years in a row during the first week of March and this was the first where we experienced really rough seas and generally bad weather. The island itself is getting really built up and should be visited now before it is too late. It is turning into another Grand Cayman with too many people and too many fast cars. Turks and Caicos Adventures has stayed relatively unaffected, as has The Seagate. A wonderful island with great diving except that the long boat trips are only fun when Fifi's big boat is operating which no doubt it is by now. His dive instructors and dive masters are really wonderful and the service on the boat is terrific.

UW Photo Comments	Fifi, who owns the business, lost his wonderful catamaran so we were diving on a small boat. Because of the rough waters, we switched to another operator for our second week. I suspect that his boat is repaired by now. This was our third year with him and he runs a first rate operation. The Seagate, where we stayed, is a large apartment (in a small mansion which is only apartments) that is right behind Coral Gardens. A real bargain and wonderfully located.
