Join Scuba Shack instructor Jeff Cinciripino on this trip to another dive destination; Providenciales, Turks & Caicos. This trip will follow the same itinerary as the Nassau Memorial Day Trip. We will arrive in Turks & Caicos on Wednesday and enjoy four days of two-tank diving Thursday through Sunday with Dive Provo.

An optional one tank afternoon dive may be booked while on the island (something about island time and boat schedules – relax man). Nitrox is also available for an additional fee.

Come and dive the extensive coral reef system with abundant fish life, excellent visibility and a superior level of dive service from Dive Provo. Click on any image to enlarge.

During July, warm-water tropical fish are abundant in the area. Water temps average 78 degrees this time of year with visibility ranging from 80 to 100 feet.

On this great Drive and Dive trip. we’ll be diving with Olympus Dive Center, a great team of professionals very familiar with diving in the Outer Banks and equipped with the finest boats in the area, including a 65 foot and a 45 foot aluminum hull dive boats.

The trip departs Rocky Hill for North Carolina on July 19 and we’re diving on July 20, 21 and 22. You’re welcome to stay in the Outer Banks for additional days, but the group drives back to Connecticut on July 23.

We have pre-booked accommodations at Hampton Inn, located about two miles from the dive center. Our rooms have a water room and the inn includes a continental breakfast each morning.

Limited space is available, so we suggest you reserve your slot today!

The truck and trailer will be loaded with dive gear and leave Rocky Hill on April 19. Student divers can drive down with us or fly in. We are renting a house for our stay. The trip is for both GUE Fundamentals and GUE Pre-tec divers.

This custom trip designed by Scuba Shack and Peter ensures you’ll experience the best of Nassau including diving on the southwest side of New Providence (Nassau) with great walls that start at 35 feet and drop – in many locations vertically – to more than 6,000 feet. Again this year will be limited to between 18 and 22 divers which allows Stuart Cove’s operation to provide us their best boat and private bus transportation to and from the dive center each day.

If you’re interested in this trip, ensure you contact Scuba Shack ASAP so we can tell you more and you can ensure your spot is on hold. Call us at (860) 563-0119 or use the form at the bottom of this release!

To say you’ll experience the hottest dive and dining spots on the island is an understatement. Peter’s preparation each year includes a personal trip to the island months before the Memorial Day Weekend trip to meet with the dive operator and the staff at Orange Hill to ensure everything is just right. How many dive trip leaders do you know who meets with restaurant owners and managers before the trip to schedule entertainment and ensure your satisfaction? Peter does!

Located in the central Bahamas, the southwest side of Nassau features excellent diving opportunities for every level of diver. With walls starting at 35 to 45 feet and dropping vertically one mile, an advanced diver may cruise the wall at 80 to 100 feet – while novice divers complete open water certification dives at the top of the wall near a recently sunk artificial reef. To fully enjoy this multi-level diving experience, dive computers are required.

Diving along the Tongue of the Ocean is a special experience and we’re certain that you will enjoy the diving diversity offered.

Take advantage of the afternoon Shark Dive. You’ll swim with Caribbean Reef Sharks and watch them feed while experiencing an adrenalin filled rush! A photographer and videographer will be in the water and you can purchase prints at Fin Photo™, Stuart Cove’s full service photo and video center, or purchase them online after your trip from home.

Orange Hill Beach Inn is a family run hotel with 32 rooms. Only 75 steps from the beach, Orange Hill is very comfortable for divers and has been recently renovated.
