Just wanted to thank the staff at PTD for taking care of me on my recent OW referral course. Staff was very professional and accommodating when I booked with them and when I arrived I had 1x1 instruction the whole time with a great dive master (thanks Mark). I would definitely recommend this shop. More

I just finished a week's diving with Provo Turtle Divers and found them to be excellent in all respects. For perspective, I have been diving for over 30 years, and my dive buddy Ray had never done any open water diving since certifying a few years ago, and we were both very happy with the experience. Dave and Melinda, the... More

Dove with Provo Turtle Divers for one day. It was enough to make us look for another op for the rest of the week. Pros: --------- -Friendly and knowledgeable staff (except for one male dive master). -Nice boat -Snacks -Bathroom on board. -Rinse and setup your equipment for you. Cons: ---------- -No lunch -You pretty much have no say on... More

I chose PTD based upon reviews I read here. We were diving with our children ages 12 and 14 so we wanted a safety conscious outfit. I was very surprised to realize there was an unattended child on our boat. I did not think a junior Open Water diver could dive without a guardian or a parent, but PTD allowed... More

I am a recreational diver, with about 20 dives. This outfit was the most professional and detailed I have experienced. They are serious about safety and instructions, yet help you have a great time. They are punctual and professional. Additionally, the instructors set a good pace and are helpful with pointing out fishes and sea life. A great dive outfit!! More

I did the 2 tank morning dive, getting back around 2pm. The dives themselves were very good, seeing a spotted eagle ray, sting rays, reef shark, big moray eels and lobsters, etc. However, I was somewhat suspect of the older equipment, and in fact my regulator had erratic air flow. After the first dive I complained about this but did... More

The boat and crew were great. Skipper Dave made great diagrams and gave a good description of each dive site and what to expect. Although there were quite a few divers the second day, we were divided up into smaller groups. We dived with Rico one day and Sara the next. They both were attentive and pointed out a lot... More

We recently returned from a trip to T&C. Our two sons are certified divers and wanted to get their Advanced Open Water Certifications. We chose Provo Turtle Divers and WOWSA did we make the right choice. Melinda and her husband Dave are hands-on owners and really cool folks who care! The boys did six amazing dives and each of them... More

All I can say about Provo Turtle Divers is that they run one of the best or if not the best dive operation I have had the pleasure to dive with over the past decade of dive adventures that I have been so fortunate to have taken part in. I will try to give fellow readers a summary of what... More

Yesterday I went on a two tank dive and it could not have been better. They picked me up at my hotel at 8:00am and took me to their dive shop. I rented gear from them, which only took a few minutes, and then we jumped on the boat and were on our way. There were only 4 people in... More
