We had an amazing day thanks to our guides Cole and Colin. My husband is a certified diver, and I am not. They were very patient and encouraging with me... read more which was important to me. My husband, an experienced diver, felt it was a fantastic dive for him too. This place is incredible as it is, but having a wonderful experience through Big Blue, was a great add to our stay. We can't say enough great things about Cole and Colin as well! THANK YOU!

  We did a paddle board tour of Mangrove Cay with Blue Collective. It was organized through our resort and very easy. They picked us up and took us to the... read more site, and then brought us back again. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The paddle board provided an interesting vantage point for viewing sea turtles, sharks, and barracuda. We were paddle board beginners, and this was definitely challenging. Once we were in the Mangroves everything was fine, but getting there and back was pretty difficult. Depending on the wind and current, you might want to consider doing a kayak tour instead. Additionally, doing a private tour might be a better choice for beginners, since we felt like we did miss some information when we were at the back of the pack and behind more experienced paddle boarders.

  We wanted to adventure a little on our own and found big blue as a place that would rent kayaks for self guided tours and the experience from start to... read more finish was perfect. They recommend calling and checking on the weather which is helpful and then you can pop by and grab your kayak. They do a quick safety guidance and explain your path with a handy map. They also offer you a dry bag and complementary water which was super pleasant and unexpected! We saw loads of iguanas on the islands, a few fish in the shallow areas, and skirted around the edges of the mangroves (since it was low tide). Overall a super manageable kayak route and a great experience (also reasonably priced for your own rental). Be sure to watch out for boats and jet skis but they seemed pretty aware of the slower and smaller kayakers around.

  I went diving two days with Big Blue; we booked it through the Amanyara hotel. I had a great time and recommend diving with Blue Blue on a private charter.... read more />
For the fist day we chartered a boat for a half day to do two dives at northwest point. I was picked up on the beach by Kevin and Mike. Both of them are very professional and accommodating. Mike was helpful in getting my gear up and running. I appreciated that Kevin brought a writing tablet down to communicate underwater, and taught me the names of few fish. Both dives with Kevin and Mike were really nice and relaxing - saw a lot of animals including some large sharks and jacks. We dove Amphetheatre and Eel Garden. Both very nice sites. I had a great time as it was such a fun relaxing way to spend the morning. Effortless diving with a pickup on the beach and a 5 minute boat ride.

A few days later I chartered a boat for a full day of diving. I was picked up on the beach by Jake and Lee. These two guys are a riot! I had a blast joking with them as they share my same sense of dry humor. We unfortunately had very rough seas that day, but they still picked me up and dropped me off at that beach infront of the Amanyara. Even in the high swells and weather they drove the boat well enough to make the journey to West Caicos as comfortable as possible.

They picked out two incredibly amazing dive sites at West Caicos, The dive sites were on the west side of the island and pretty far south. It turned out to be well worth the trip to get there. Both sites had absolutely amazing coral reef walls with steep drop offs. One site had a point with huge soft coral sea fans full of wildlife. I could have stayed at the point and not moved for an entire tank, and would have been happy to drop back down and do it again. We saw an abundance of wildlife and amazing coral formations. the second dive at a different point turned out to be just as good as the first. The second dive site was Brandywine, can't remember the name of the first site, but it was very close.

Then we took the boat back to northwest point for a third dive. We dove Crack, which again was an incredible site. I really love these large coral formations where you drop down between walls that go forever deep into the blue. Both Jake and Lee really love diving. It is a real pleasure to dive with these guys as they want to be in the water as much as I do. Felt like diving with a couple of old friends. Really had a great time.

Anyways : the downside of all of this is it the cost. Chartering the boat in Turks and Caicos is really expensive. More expensive than I am used to in Hawaii or other places in the world. But it costs what it costs, and it is an incredible experience with Big Blue Collective. I had such a great time. Cant stop thinking about both days of diving. It turned out to be well worth the cost, and I would do it again.
