Sometimes i wonder if the sharks recognized individual divers but this is wishful thinking! I am sure i know this one as i have made this particular dive plenty of times….. will it take a swipe at me??? or just try to sniff me out! Well, the camera didn’t shake much so I guess i am feeling pretty confident of myself….
Go see my previous dive posts, you can see them right here!

my cousin marta was in provo for a week, she is all into water sports; sailing, diving, kite surfing is her thing – so i was sure she would fit right in! she stayed for a week and brought our aunt mafalda and her cousin francisca – we had a fab time!
what do you think makes turks and caicos (providenciales) so special?
Its natural beauty is amazing! About the underwater world, I believe i’ll never forget the images i keep dreaming about. Then onshore, at every beach we went, there was always a new detail that took my breath away along with the mixtures of blues and greens of the water. It just feels like getting into the water right away- it’s paradise!
what were your favorite things to do whilst on island?
My number one thing was to go diving. It was my first time with sharks and turtles and it was an amazing experience! The reef walls and all the existing life along with the beautiful underwater gardens are just unforgettable! As a second point, I have to say I loved relaxing on the beach and go for a swim over and over again on those warm waters…
would you recommend to a friend?
I would definitely recommend to a friend specially to a diving fan that wants to relax in paradise! Thank you Joana and James for this amazing and unforgettable week! I had a really good time!!

Joana LOVES sea turtles and I am always in the look out for them in all my dives…a fav of TCI are the hawksbill sea turtles and I dive with Provo Turtle Divers, that is just a walk away from where we live…hawksbill sea turtles are beautiful creatures and this one was feeding and didn’t care that I was next to it…they feed mostly on a huge variety of sea sponges found in the caribbean…u got to love them!
its been a constant party at home this week, with three guests, we’ve had meals in and out, gone back and forth all day, exploring the island, chilling at the beach, snorkeling, diving, kite surfing and shopping too! my visitors will be guest-posting the next couple of weeks, and tell you all about their holidays in provo – so stay tuned!
i took this picture earlier this week on our day trip to iguana island – the weather was perfect, the water was warm and we saw plenty of iguanas.
i’m sad that the week is getting to an end, but i do look forward to next week too – provo -> new york -> lisbon -> london…how exciting!
oh, and in case i’m not around as much, do check me out on facebook, twitter and pinterest – HAPPY WEEKENDING my friends!
last weekend he headed to the conch festival, since it is our first year in provo, we were excited to see what it was about!
we went straight to the conch tasting competition, sampling dishes prepared by the 25 local participating restaurants – our favourite? parallel 23 and bay bistro, loved the flavours, presentation and friendlyness!
did you know that conch is the main export product in turks and caicos?
in our way out we bought some coconuts from these friendly kids!
it truly is one of the events of the year in provo, not to be missed!
