BOATS AND CREW
Dive Provo operates 3 modern boats, designed for customer convenience, include
such amenities as showers, rinse tanks, comfortable seating, platform and
ladders, as well as VHF radio and safety equipment. Our regular schedule is a
daily 2 tank dive to any of the following areas Northwest Point, West Caicos,
French Cay, Sandbore Channel, Pine Cay and Grace Bay. Areas chosen are based on
where divers diving multiple days have already been and on weather conditions.
Single tank dives are scheduled every afternoon and go out to the closest dive
area of Grace Bay.3 tank dive days and snorkel trips are also scheduled on
demand and
Private Charters
are
also gladly arranged!
The Provo Conquest and Provo Crusader are both
36ft
 Newton Dive Boats with plenty of shade and a comfortable seating area
up top with the captain. Newton Dive Boats have pretty much become the
standard in the industry and are a pleasure to dive from. Formerly known as
the Provo Explorer the Provo Challenger was completely refigured by
Jardine/Sewell Boatworks in early 2003. With a cruising speed of 26 knots
and slightly narrower beam than both the Conquest and Crusader the Provo
Challenger is a favourite for Private Charters. 
The
professional Dive Provo staff is dedicated to providing guests with convenient
and trouble-free diving. From pick up at your hotel to dropping you off at the
end of the day the staff will do their utmost to make sure you have a good time.
No lugging heavy gear! The staff will set up your gear for your dive and break
it down and rinse it at the end of the day. Just pack your bag, leave it on the
boat and it will be ready for your next dive.
At Dive Provo we know it is not just outstanding diving that makes a great
vacation, it is also the attitude and friendliness of the dive staff. Dive Provo
customer surveys continually rank our staff as "Number One" in reasons why they
would return.
 
Your hosts Alan and Clare Jardine both SSI Platinum Pros have over twenty five
years experience in the dive industry having lived in the Bahamas, Bonaire, and
the British Virgin Islands prior to acquiring Dive Provo.
Dive staff move around the resorts from one end of the world to the other so you
may well meet people you made friends with on your last vacation somewhere else.
By and large Dive Provo’s staff are in their 30’s (or older in some cases) and
they all have a great variety of life experiences to share with you.
Everyone has been with Dive Provo for at least a year and Selma Storm has now
been at Dive Provo for 3 years. Working alongside Selma is Justin Hinks who was
with Dive Tortola in the BVIs and Brendal’s in Abaco before moving to Provo.
Bill and Steph Wallwork are a married couple who prior to reuniting on island,
juggled a long distance relationship with Bill working in Thailand while Steph
worked on a private resort island in The Bahamas.
If you see greasy finger prints anywhere blame Rob Smith who is our Instructor
Mechanic. The tall blond you will likely meet when you walk into the shop is
Lynne Watts and our Operations Manager is Paul ‘Danny’ Daniels. Both these folks
worked down the road at Beaches before joining Dive Provo.
