One of our best friends left the coziness of her small USA city to live in the enchanted
Turks & Caicos. Why? Because she loves to
dive! It's known as one of the premiere dive locations in the Caribbean, and
Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort introduced their
Bubble Makers program - not yet available elsewhere - for young would-be divers, teaching them basic underwater-breathing skills. Using real scuba apparatus, kids 7 and 8 become familiar with the equipment in a pool while hunting for underwater toys at a depth of 6 feet.
Manager says he can't keep parents away - they want to participate, too! There is a more advanced version, called Seal Team, for 9 and 10 year olds. A five day National Geographic scuba program teaches children 10 and up how to actually ocean dive - and how to identify fish and reefs.
Then there is the
Beaches Kids Kamp for children 5 and under. They are separated from the 6 to 12 year olds and have their own play space. We thought highly of the
Beach Science program for the kids 4 to 7, which mixes education and fun and encourages budding scientists to dig for sharks' teeth, or to launch amateur rockets off the beach.
RESORT INDEX:- Size: 453 rooms and suites; a room with two double beds is about 498 sq.ft.
- Features: ask about the Sesame Street themed rooms; 12 miles of white sand beaches; pools staffed by lifeguards
- For Mom & Dad: sunrise yoga; body scrubs with Blue Mountain coffee beans (most expensive on earth); ask about single parent friendly months
- The facility appears like a French village with Parisian-style architecture, cuisine, ambiance
- Bake cookies with Cookie Monster
- Works with One World Foundation to work with autistic children
