My wife and I went to Provo from April 24th-May 4th, 2008, and we are amazed that Provo Turtle Divers has gotten any bad reviews. We dove in Hawaii, Aruba, St. John, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, Anguilla, etc., and this was one of the best dive shops we ever found. They we accomodating from the get go. They did absolutely... more

Diving was nothing of note, but can't say if that has more to do with the locale than the dive shop. However, if you dive with Provo Turtle, check your bill. The personnel are pretty sociable, but we ended up paying a tip on merchandise we bought in the shop. So, as always, look beyond the smiles and be sure... more

Turks & Caicos is getting great attention from new divers, and it's great to see Art's PTD getting some good reviews. However, our experience with PTD was not good, nor can we recommend them anymore. We love the dive community, and we respect the demands of managing any dive shop; it's not an easy business. But since Art has brought... more

I dove with Turtle Divers for 2 days (4 dives) and had a great time! Professional group, each instructor was upbeat, personable and extremely helpful - before, during and after the dives. This is vacation diving and they take care of whatever you need - all equipment (good rental gear), tank change between dives, they have extra gear (o-rings, masks,... more

I have just returned from a glorious week spent staying at the Turtle Cove Inn and diving with the crew at Art Pickering’s Prove Turtle Divers (I don’t care who owns it, so how ‘bout I use PTD). I thought that I would thank them for our wonderful experience by writing them a nice review. After reading the negative reviews... more

My wife and I went to Provo last year and are going back again next week. I am amazed that Provo Turtle Divers has gotten any bad reviews. We have dove in BVI, Mexico and Florida and this was the best dive crew of them all. They literaly did everything for us, all we had to do was strap our... more

I dove with Turtle Divers for three days in Jan. 06 and had a great time with small (3 to 4)groups of divers per dive master and great sites. I had no issues with the owners or the staff. They were attentive and very safetly minded. more

Provo Turtle Divers rocks! I saw the one review that didn't have anything nice to say and was really worried. Turns out that Art Pickering is still a part owner and the new owners were very nice and helpful to us. We dove West Caicos, French Cay, Sandbore Channel (my favorite!) and Northwest Point the first 5 days we were... more

The diving is great, but stay away from Provo Turtle Divers. Art Pickering has not owned this place for years, and the new guys are arrogant with a bad attitude, with poor service. It's basic "cattle" diving-load em up, dive, and return. If you want a great "tropical" dive experience at Turks, with great service and very friendly dive support,... more
