Bah, I can only provide a link for download but it's a 459MB file. Fair warning if you want to watch it!

hey boots, is that your dog or a pic of someone elses. Would that actually work

not my dog but is it possible? WHY NOT but it would take lots of patience

Trying to load video up now for everyone if I can link to it. Plentiful fish and corals. A little better in our opinion than what we saw off Kauai but we only did a single two-tank dive there. Far better than either Negril or Ocho Rios in Jamaica.

TC is some top notch diving if doing so off a liveaboard, will be there this friday aboard explorer ventures and again in october.
In fact I am currently putting together a trip for oct 12 for a week aboard explorer ventures need 5 more divers and we can get a great deal can make things work with 3 more as far as that goes. pm me for info and rates if interested

Would love to but with a 9 year old and 6 year old we're about 6 years away from a live aboard .

no up for 7 days of liveaboard in turks and caicos, you haven't had a dive trip if you haven't done liveaboard. talk about spoiled you will be spoiled, eat, dive, cervasa after the last dive for the day, sleep and do all over again with your gear brought to you at the dive platform all you do is slip your arms into your bc straps, snap the buckles while tendents slip your fins on and 1 stride later your in the water on reefs that make you wonder why your tanks don't look like this

I did a dive trip to Turks and Caicos around 10 years ago... some of the best diving I have ever experienced. When I lived in NY, I went diving 3 or 4 times a week... one of the few things I miss about living in NY.

turks and caicos does have some extremely world class diving but I believe my favorite is roatan. I have spent 50% of a dive just hovering above a reef doing nothing but taking in the awesome colors of a coral reef that was so covered you could barely see rock or sand.
But I posted looking for people to join on a trip to TC in october but I had my mind changed and just booked a trip on the cayman aggressor for the end of october

Roatan is a blast, never dove T&C. The micro critters in Roatan are amazing.

Just curious if anyone has tried to download my insanely large 459MB video? It's my first attempt at underwater videography and I would love some constructive criticism. I saw plenty of mistakes but I did think that it got better throughout the trip. Biggest mistake was not taking the red filter on the dive where we saw the four sharks! We were only going to 35-40 feet and it was our second dive so I wanted to see how much the filter made a difference. All the difference in the world.....
