PROVO CRUSADER

The Provo Crusader arrived on island just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving in 2002. A sister ship to the Provo Conquest, this latest model 36ft Newton includes all the safety and comfort features of the Provo Conquest. A couple of refinements and minor specification additions make the Provo Crusader a pleasure to dive from.

Your hosts Alan and Clare Jardine have over twenty years

Clare and Alan Jardine

experience in the dive industry having lived in the Bahamas, Bonaire, and the British Virgin Islands prior to acquiring Dive Provo.

Dive staff move around the islands, and you may well meet people you made friends with on your last vacation somewhere else. Julian Arias, a long time member of the team, has recently taken over as operations manager managing the day to day requirements of boats and divers. Previous visitors to Divi Tiara Beach will recognize Carl Nash and Christian Fisher; Marti Wagley has worked in Hawaii and all over the Caribbean, most recently at Dive Tortola; Lyndon Owen and his partner Selma Storm have traveled and dived around the world, as have Neil and Sharon van Niekerk who are probably best known by frequent visitors to the Cayman Islands.

Emma Nicholsby joined Dive Provo as retail/shop manager following the retirement of Jaliyllah Rosati. This is her first diving job although she has traveled and dived all over the world. Deb Wooley also joined Dive Provo as a boat captain and scuba instructor after leaving a successful health service career.

Alan and Clare recently partnered with a British Virgin Islander opening Dive Tortola to bring their combined expertise and local knowledge to offer superior customer service to both land based divers and divers from charter boats visiting the British Virgin Islands. Divers who enjoy the services offered by Dive Provo will be confident in trying a different diving and vacation experience in Tortola, and we hope Tortola customers will give Provo a try.
