Comments This is what you hope for in the Caribbean. Great vis (70-100), healthy corals and abundant fish life. I was very pleased with the overall diving. Sharks on every dive a few turtles and the cast of all the usual suspects. Tons of Jaw fish (a banded on a snorkel) lots of eels 5 species. I was very happy to see many grouper, snapper and other big fish lacking in some other island destinations. The big payoff two bat fish in the shallow turtle grass and while checking them out I found a pipefish! Turks checked all the boxes for the Caribbean. One main drawback was the 50+ min boat rides
AquaTCI was a nice outfit. Boats clean and in good condition. The staff was very helpful and nice. Very helpful when my daughter of 40 dives and not since before Covid was a total dumpster fire on her first dive. Mask broke, computer not working and she left her fins at the dock. They took care of it all and we enjoyed some great diving. Thanks!
