Scuba Diving With Club Med In Turks And Caicos

One scuba diving vacation option for divers is with the Club Med resorts that offer intensive dive programs

. These particular Club Med locations have complete service scuba diving centers staffed by PADI and NAUI certified instructors as well as full equipment rentals. Club Med has places with dive intensive programs in the Caribbean and the South Pacific. One such resort is the Club Med Turkoise in the Turks and Caicos islands situated southeast of the Bahamas. While these islands aren't the lushest in the Caribbean, they do have outstanding coral reef systems making it a top scuba diving destination in the region.

For those scuba divers who do not wish to be frustrated with transit between hotels, restaurants and dive boats, Club Meds are a fantastic option since everything is on site. Just like other high end all-inclusive resorts, Club Meds have outstanding dining, decent rooms as well as fantastic facilities for water and land sports. A bonus feature of Club Meds is the inclusion of instruction for several activities like sailing and water skiing as well as the every night entertainment on stage.

Regarding the scuba diving programs which are offered at extra cost, they usually provide standard five day packages which consist of a two tank trip every morning as well as a weekly night dive. There are optional single tank dives in the afternoon too. In my estimation, the Club Med Turkoise location I went to had 50% divers and 50% non-divers.

The Club Med dive boats are huge. These boats have rows along every side and another row in the center. They're 'cattle' boats for certain as there could be as much as 40 divers for every trip. However, they're good 'cattle' boats with 2 ladders in the back platform and a large upper deck for the boat ride. A very nice feature of these boats is that there are two safety stop bars below the boat at the 15 feet mark. These bars are outstanding for beginner scuba divers who still have problems remaining at a level 15 feet for their safety stops.

The diving at Turks and Caicos is fantastic with steep walls during the first part of each dive. The return portion of each dive will generally be over a reef system with plenty of small to medium size marine life. One resident barracuda nicknamed Charlie is frequently observed and likes to hang out between the safety stop bars checking out the divers.

If scuba divers are thinking about going to a Club Med, it is important to confirm which locations presently offer the intensive dive programs. Different Club Meds likewise have different atmospheres. A few are livelier with a party scene and some are quieter. Turning to a travel agent familiar with Club Meds will be useful.
