Comments	Provo is the opposite of Grand Turk - multi million dollar condos, long boat rides to the dive sites on big roomy boats, tightly run dive operations; but definitely worth going. After 4 days on Grand Turk we came to Provo. My 2 days diving were with Caicos Adventures. Fifi runs an efficent but fun dive operation and handles 20+ divers on the 54' boat by breaking them down into small groups of 5 or 6 divers. We had 5 DM's on the trip! Coral bleaching evident but I got some excellent shark pictures. Royal West Indies has become a favorite. It feels like the higher priced resorts yet it's one of the least expensive condo resorts on Provo, definitely check it out. A snorkel trip to Iguana Island and the adjoining cays for shelling is a nice way to spend an afternoon, as is a trip to the only Conch Farm in the Caribbean. If you're there during a full moon, see the glow worms after dusk. Take a drive to Northwest Point.
