Turks and Caicos islands Caribbean SeaStayed on Grand Turk. Almost no current on Caribean side of the island, waters was 76-78F in April. Have whales in March. Island is somewhat primative. Currently 3 hotels. Largest had 20 rooms. We stayed on north west side of island so the wall dives were only 5-10 minutes away by boat. We were usually the only group diving and made for a very relaxing dive vacation. Typical day was up by 8, boat left around 9 or whenever we were ready... Dive 1 a wall dive to 80-100 feet for 20 minutes then top of reef for 20 minutes, then roam around small coral heads in the shallows till air ran out. Back to the resort for a snack and 1 hour interval. Then repeat for dive 2. A few days we squeezed in shore dives in the afternoon and one night dive. Most days we would spend the afternoon exploring the island, take a break to watch the sunset, then off to dinner. About 2000 people live on the island and approximately 30 donkeys and a number of dogs roam around the island.

New Zealand PacificShallow shore dive (max depth 8m) with strong 12knot rip tides through the bay, so only safe to dive from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after high and low tides. Easy entry from the sandy beach, near rocks exposed at low tide. Lots of marine life in just the first few metres. Out in the deeper channel there are clumps of colourful sponges. Sea Temp 21c (Jan 2008)

New Zealand PacificDive site is a large underwater pinnacle, starting at 6m depth and falling to 30m. The boat anchors on the top of the pinnacle and you descend to the bottom of the rock and work your way back up to the top in a spiral. Since the rock is away from the main island, the light has made it possible for more kelp to grow on it. Small shoals of Butterfly Perch and Pink Maomao hang out in shady spots under ledges or kelp. Lots of colourful Bryozoans and Sponges cover the rocks and look wonderful in the dappled light under the kelp. Sea Temp 19c (Jan 2008)
