Certified Scuba Diving

TriggerfishIf you are coming to Grand Turk by cruise ship and want to enjoy certified scuba diving excursions without the crowds, for certified divers we offer guided dives as well as skills review dives.

The famous Grand Turk “wall” runs the length of the west side of the island and we have over 40 dive sites to choose from in the Columbus National Marine Park. The top of the wall starts at depths of 25-30 feet and drops off to over 7,000 feet.  Short boat rides, little-to-no current, excellent visibility and a variety of marine life are just a few of the attractions of diving here on Grand Turk. The diving page on our website shows some of the marine park dive sites along the wall, if you’d like to take a look at some of the places we regularly visit.

If it has been two years or more since your last dive you are REQUIRED to go on a skills review dive, as we want you to have a relaxed and enjoyable time while you are on holiday! If you are not certified to dive, please check out our Try Scuba Diving trip option.

It is very important to remember that Scuba Diving is a physical activity and can be strenuous at times. In order to participate in scuba diving, a person must maintain a reasonable level of health and fitness and certain medical issues must be considered. Please review the PADI Medical form, so if necessary, you can discuss with your physician before diving.

If you would like you can check out our dive sites here and read below about the two types of trips we offer to certified divers from the cruise ship. Please note that our equipment has a weight limit of 250 pounds per person.
