Comments Smitty, our long-term divemaster, is leaving SeaEye Diving and starting his own dive operation. His new operation will be called Grand Turk Diving, I believe. He is, without a doubt, the best divemaster we have ever known and has an amazing knowledge and love of everything underwater. He is very quiet and low key but is always on top of every potential problem in the water and on the boat.
