ummmm.... are you into diving? are you into diving too?

Not much to do besides diving. The islands are desert and the only thing that grows are cactus. Not much night life.

There really isn't much to do but dive. I wouldn't recommend going unless that's your aim. If your cool with relaxing and floating you will be good. Hope you're not looking for adventure and party.

Oh, the diving is pretty fantastic and the water is second to none.

I've bonefished there before and it was quite interesting. If you do that make sure to book a full day trip to get a long enough run to productive waters. Also got a chance to make a day trip to Ambergris Cay and the Turks and Caicos Sporting Club. I'm not sure I've ever seen a better place for saltwater fishing, but it's pretty remote. Schools of 100 bonefish at a time were all over the place. Offshore fishing is much better in the fall/winter as this time of year it's either Marlin or nothing.

Just got back actually Aug 8 2010. Delta flight: NOLA - ATL - Provo. Best part- hand catching a lobster within an hour of landing, from the beach in front of rental home. Worst part - not catching another for the rest of the seven day trip. Killer place. Easy to catch, clean and grill conch. Even a chartered boat didn't help too much with the lobsters. Stayed in Provo - Grace Bay. Bring a speargun, hide it and rack up. Also bring repellant for any southern side of the island or when the wind dies down.
