Our anniversary week was a great success thanks mostly to the wonderful divers who came to celebrate with us. We would like to thank everyone who participated and thank the staff for the extra work they all did. There were a lot of Nitrox tanks moving around!


Jon Wilkins from Rex Dive Center introduced a few of his best clients to Dive Provo and we enjoyed them all.

Most people took advantage of the free upgrade from a 2 tank to 3 tank dive and lionfishing brought out the beast in even the meekest people.Michelle LapinDavid

Congratulations to Michelle Lapin who bagged the most, she definitely got the hang of it and by Friday had racked up a total of 31 fish winning the coveted award of a large as life beaded lionfish - much less smelly than the real thing!

A closeish second was Tom Coester with 8 fish and the Darwin award goes to David and Carrie (last names withheld to protect their identity) who tried hard but just aren't as smart as fish. At least David won a very useful roller bag in our prize draw.


We ate the catch at the BBQ and although we also had burgers and chicken the lionfish was the most popular dish. Alan grilling


Owner's Alan and Clare Jardine were on food detail.  Alan was the grill king and Clare made her famous lionfish pate. We are still both dreaming about lionfish!

 

Thank you to Janine Freisberg for the lovely birthday cake which we forgot to take to the party but are managing to scoff our way through in the shop.

A big thank you to Jim Hart for his daily video tidbits (many are posted to the Dive Provo facebook page and should be viewed!! )Gerard and Nancy Meyer

We hope Paul Johnson is very proud of himself for the dramatic improvement he made with his air consumption.

After yoga tips from Jim and Michelle he learned to relax in the water and go with the flow.


It was wonderful to have so many repeat divers; Gerard and Nancy Meyer, who have been visiting for many years, took advantage of the special to join us this week, and check out the picture of Gerard smiling.

Joe Gagnon, another regular, dived every day and still managed to keep his girlfriend hidden from us. Some divers were only able to join us for some of the time, Mike Sangster, who we love, had to leave before the BBQ, but we'll see him again next year.

Sam's Lovely Wife!Sam Van HoelteWe would also like to thank the companies who donated gifts for the prize draw - Aqualung, Deep See, Henderson and Innovative Scuba Concepts.

Lucky prizewinner Sam Van Hoelte now has a new BCD courtesy of his lovely wife who doesn't dive.

New diver Tracey Broom won a pair of pink fins, so will now have to coordinate the rest of her dive gear purchases.

Max and Jennifer Kawlath (nicknamed the beautiful people), newly certified with us, were both very lucky with the raffle prizes.MaxJon Roy

The Roys and Hastings, our lovely mannered group from the South, also did well in the prize draw and Jonathan (Jon) Roy was the grand prize winner, winning Free Diving for Life.

This trip was his graduation gift and this lovely young man is off to study engineering in college. His dream is to become a divemaster after getting an education so we expect to see a lot of him in the future.

If anyone has photos we haven't seen feel free to e-mail them to us or post them to our facebook page - Dive Provo Turks and Caicos

Once again thank you to everyone for coming and we hope you had as good a time as us.
