The Maldives Islands lie Southwest of India. Scattered across the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the gem-like islands of the Maldives depict the rare vision of a tropical paradise. Palm fringed islands with sparkling white beaches, turquoise lagoons, clear warm waters and coral reefs teeming with abundant varieties of marine flora and fauna, fascinates visitors as it has for thousands of years.
 
There are three distinctly different types of diving: inside the atolls, outside the atolls and inside the channels or passes, which is where the currents are strongest and you'll find the greatest congregation of fish life. Most intriguing are the cleaning stations, found around every corner and under every ledge. Groupers, Snappers, Surgeonfish, Eels, Parrotfish, even Giant Napoleon Wrasse park casually in corners, oblivious to all, (including cameras) while armies of wrasse, shrimp and other assorted cleaners pick at debris in their open gills and cavernous mouths.
 
The big attraction, however, are the schools of fish that patrol the reefs in colorful packs: Humpback and Black and White Snappers, Trevally Jacks, Barracuda, Batfish, Unicornfish, Yellowback Fusiliers and Harlequin Sweetlips almost comical in design. The reef's larger inhabitants, including sharks, rays and occasionally even Whale Sharks, are often seen cruising in the blue. 

We are offering a 7 night special expedition deal on the Tui Tai that has been reduced 40% for travel July thru December 15, 2013.

After five nights on the Tui Tai, you will agree the services are second-to-none. A gourmet menu prepared fresh daily in our outdoor kitchen, mealtime excursions to dine on deserted beaches or in lush rainforests, full bar, housekeeping and laundry, professional spa treatments and yoga sessions under the clear blue South Pacific skies– it’s all here for your enjoyment. And scuba dive some of the best reefs in Polynesia....!

The itinerary for a classic Tui Tai expedition is ever-evolving, as we expand, tweak, and fine-tune our onboard experience to show guests the absolute best activities, island tours, dive and snorkel sites, and cultural experiences the South Pacific has to offer. 

• Roam renowned Rainbow Reef dive sites within the Somosomo Straits, including "The Great White Wall," and other sites comprising what Jean-Michel Cousteau once dubbed "the soft–coral capital of the world"
• Marvel at coral gardens at The Farm and Nakawa Point, features in Lonely Planet as "one of the world’s greatest snorkel sites"
• Dive Kokoda Point, Wall Street, and Eel Diamond, with visibility often exceeding 120 feet, where divers frequently encounter large marine animals, including barracuda, tuna, sharks, rays and turtles
• Explore the sites we call "little Rainbow Reef" near Rabi Island, where you’ll likely share the water with a dozen or so nine–foot manta rays.

Hiking, kayaking, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, visiting remote villages and simply sailing the clear blue waters of the South Pacific–Tui Tai offers an adventure for everyone. Best of all, you just need to show up. Our expertly–maintained gear is the best money can buy, and our dive instructors, botanical experts and team of local guides will provide you a trip you’ll never forget.

The Eastern Caribbean islands offer some of the world's most famous beaches, resorts, diving and pirate hangouts. The Turks and Caicos are no exception. We have a great package at the Sibonne Beach Hotel on Grace Bay.

Sibonné was the first hotel built on Grace Bay Beach – so it enjoys the best position on the most famous beach in the Caribbean. Renovated and renamed  – this is the most intimate hotel on Grace Bay Beach. With only 28 rooms, guests enjoy the distinction of being closer to the beach than anyone staying at the more recent large-scale resort developments on Grace Bay.

Add to this – the glorious view from our restaurant, Bay Bistro – where you look directly at the beach and the aqua-blue waters of Grace Bay. Bay Bistro is one of the few restaurants on Grace Bay that offers fine dining with a beach front location and full ocean view from their dining room.

As soon as you step onto your balcony, dine in the oceanfront restaurant, walk onto the powdery white sand, or swim in the amazingly clear turquoise water of Grace Bay Beach – you’ll understand why Sibonné Beach Hotel is the best choice for your Caribbean vacation in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Add to this, fantastic dive sites and an amazing accommodation and dive package with the Ocean Vibes dive team.

Our 7 night package with accommodations and 5 dive days is $1,381 per person double occupancy European Plan (no meals). Dive services provided by Ocean Vibes.
