Dives: Just great. Better than Bonaire or Belize IMO. Great reef formations and great healthy walls, with fans, tube sponges, coral and fish life. These reefs are in good shape. I did 12 dives. More about my dives in a later post.
I am really not a good photograher at all but it's a place where you can take good pics if you're not. Guess my OK shots were sheer accident. I'm using a Reef Master by Sealife DC 300 digital 3.5 mega-pixal with external strobe.

You'll like it. Cruise ships have not impacted a great deal, at this point, but I can see where it might some time in the future. At least the good dive shops are keeping the reef crunchers away from real divers.
John - what was the cash situation down there? was there an ATM? Is there any Internet connectivity available?
US dollar is currency, which is accepted in 100% of the places. I'm sure there is an atm but I don't recall seeing one. I did not visit any of the Internet cafes but I think they have them. Maybe someone else can give you a definite on your questions? I don't want to mislead you.
There are ATMS downtown in Grand Turk (Cockburn) at many of the banks. There is also an Internet cafe downtown. $5 for 1/2 hour access. Opens at 11am or around there every day.
