A marvelous abundance of colorful exciting marine life inhabiting the healthy coral reefs ranging from miniature schooling fish to 12 foot mantas and sharks.

The diving visibility is excellent, averaging between 100 and 150 feet!

Experience the thrill of exploring the ocean and all its wonders, without giving up precious vacation time for specialized training. Sea Trek is the world's premier underwater helmet diving experience. It is like walking on the moon but only on the seabed.. We will dive primarily at Smiths Reef in 15' of water. No certification necessary. Snorkeling gear provided after helmet dive. All transfers, chips/dips, sodas/water are included.

 

UNDERSEA EXPLORER SEMI-SUBMARINE

Semi-SubThe Undersea Explorer is a high tech hybrid that turns the concept upside down. This unique boat does not dive below the surface, but utilises a sub-sea observatory that hangs five feet below the waterline. From large viewing windows surrounding the underwater gondola, a maximum of 16 passengers can see the reef up close -- while staying bone-dry, seated in air-conditioned comfort.

While the Captain narrates from above, Co-Director Jason Samways makes sure passen
gers are comfortable and well informed below deck. Once alongside the reef, the boat travels at a speed of only 1 to 2 knots, slow enough so that marine life is not frightened by its approach. Trips are 2 hours

PROVO GOLF CLUB

Provo Golf Club has been rated in the top ten of the Caribbean golf courses and has received rave reviews from Golf Magazine, Golf Week and Golf Digest.

The Provo Golf Course is one of the very best conditioned courses in the Caribbean. The quality of turf is tremendous and, along with the unique layout and easy access, it's a pleasant surprise to golfers who try the course for the first time.

The course offers a larger green area if the approach shot is a long one, while shorter approaches will be to smaller greens tucked behind bunkers or mounds. In between the different hitting areas, you have large waste spaces. This requires players to utilize good course management, hitting the ball to specific targets rather than just blasting away their drivers or fairway wood. The unusual blend of waste areas and a variety in the sizes of the greens - combined with the trade winds that are usually present - places a premium on accuracy. In it's six years of play, the course has met with great reviews.
