A few years ago, I did a trip to Grand Turk and it was amazing. I went with a group and we stayed at a resort called the
Bohio. It is a small resort run by a couple of Canadian expats and their family. The resort itself was not "world class" per se, but the rooms were very nice and clean, and the food was amazing.
Our diving was with
Oasis Divers and was incredible. A typical dive day would go something like this:
- Get up & go for breakfast
- Get ready for the dive (including putting on your wetsuit)
- Oasis Divers' boat shows up at the resort's beach and they load you BCD & gear on to the boat (you carry your mask, fins snorkel & camera if you have one)
- As soon as the boat pushes off the beach, finish getting ready (set up your BCD, put on your fins and put on your BCD and check your air) The boat ride to most dive sites is about 5-10 minutes and then the "pool is open"
- After the dive, they bring you back to the resort and you place your order for lunch
- Back to the boat for the 2nd dive
- Same 5 minute boat ride to the next dive site, so start getting ready right away
- Do the dive and then back to the hotel.
- Go to your room and shower/change
- Come back and your lunch comes within a few minutes
- The afternoon is yours to relax or to do what you want with
The diving was predominantly walls and sandy flats. Grand Turk is not nearly as "sharky" as Provo and the surrounding area, but I saw more turtles on that trip than I have seen in all of my previous diving combined. We saw turtles on every dive and on a couple dives, we saw 5 turtles.
I can highly recommend the Bohio and Oasis Divers. It was a great trip!
