SAMPLING THE SOUL OF THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS SUMMER <strong>2023</strong> NO. 143<br />
On <strong>the</strong> Cover<br />
This moody underwater shot was contributed by Dive<br />
Provo (www.DiveProvo.com), one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> TCI’s oldest<br />
dive operations and a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> TripAdvisor<br />
Certificate Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame. It was shot by Brilliant Studios<br />
(www.brilliantstudios.com) on a dive site in Grace Bay,<br />
Providenciales. It highlights <strong>the</strong> eye-catching, healthy<br />
corals still to be seen by divers in <strong>the</strong> Turks & Caicos<br />
<strong>Islands</strong>. It appropriately celebrates National Ocean Month<br />
in June, which highlights <strong>the</strong> world’s marine ecosystems.<br />
