Overall Rating

This was our 2rd trip to Grand Turk, and, as usual, Blue Water Divers did a
fabulous job of accomodating our diving needs and wishes.  Mitch has some
new staff on board, and they are all as helpful, friendly and fun as ever! 
We saw tons of trunkfish, cow fish, and trumpet fish.  Craig (our
divemaster on the first few days) found some great sutff - a baby hawksbill
turtle, flamingo tongue, and spotted drum.  We saw several stingrays,
lizard fish, porcupine fish, and Mitch found an indigo hamlet on the last
dive.

We stayed in one of the newly remodeled rooms at the Osprey Beach hotel. 
Jenny et. al. have done a fabulous job with this place - the rooms and
furniture are simple yet lovely.  The bar is great - we loved Allen!!  The
restaurant is as good as ever - the barbeque nights are the best, with
fresh lobster on the grill.  

The only bummer was learning that a new pier is being built on Grand Turk
so that big cruise ships can start coming there.  I hope it will not ruin
the quaintness of the island!
