undersea explorer

every time we have friends and family coming over to visit, we really make an effort to think out of the box and live like a tourist during their stay.

my friend sally recommended we try the undersea explorer – since my mum and i weren’t going diving, this was the perfect plan to get to see a little more of the undersea life.

the undersea explorer is a small semi submarine, it took us on a tour, of just over 45 minutes,  and we saw all kinds of fish, schools, beautiful corals and turtles too. yes, i finally got to see them, loads of turtles!

to book the undersea explorer call 649 231 0006, it costs $55 adult / $40 child and it leaves from the turtle cove marina. if you have kids, you have to try it out!

natasha and adriano live in new york and they came over to turks and caicos for a long weekend. it was great having them, showing them around and going out for drinks and dinner!

what do you think makes turks and caicos (providenciales) so special?

By far the best beach with a perfect white sand and crystal clear, turquoise sea. I know this answer is a cliche but it truly is a definition of this beautiful island.


what were your favorite things to do whilst on island?

While staying in Provo i just wanted to relax and enjoy by the beach. A boat trip for conch fishing  and a visit to Iguana island is a fun thing to do, as well is a lunch at the Conch Shack. Also a visit to Amanyara for a sunset was one of my favorites.

would you recommend to a friend?

Definitely YESSS!

sand dollars

there are three things that i absolutely love about turks and caicos (besides all these) – star fish, remember how they tickled in my hands when i held them? – turtles, james sees them all the time on his dive outings and i get crazy jealous – and sand dollars.

i have been looking for sand dollars for more than a year now and had only found them in souvenir shops. obviously,  i’ve been looking in the wrong places, because everyone seems to see them all the time…

but last weekend, james and i were going for a walk and he found three in a row!

they are funny creatures, so, so pretty and difficult to imagine how they function. they are related to starfish and sea urchins – i did find a video with a sand dollar moving across the sand, you must watch it  HERE.

The other day, we were diving at French Cay and it has been a long time since I have been there as it is a long trip from South Dock.

It’s April and I was able to witness the various corals shooting out sperms and seeds creating a mist on the reef wall which made the viz poor.

I also had company on this dive.  Joana’s sis Ines from Lisbon was doing her OWD and she had a great time even when a shark came straight at her!

i hope you have a great weekend my friends!

we have an extra long one in provo – friday and monday off! we’re enjoying having family around and doing all touristic things we never end up doing without guests.

i made a list of all the beaches in provo and have taken the challenge of going to every single one of them during my mum and sister’s stay – we’ve been to six different ones (like this one, this one, and this one) but still have a few more to go!
