Rates and Trips for Cruise Ship Visitors:

Diving and snorkeling - Per Person

• Scuba Diving, Small Group (max 8-10 divers):  For certified divers only.  Requires a minimum of four certified divers.  $50 per person for a single tank dive or $85 per person for a two tank dive, including tanks, weights, weight belt and dive guide.  Gear rental is $27 per person for a full set

• Scuba Diving, Even Smaller Group (max 4-5 divers):  For certified divers only. Requires a minimum of two certified divers.  $150 per person for a one tank dive, including rental gear.  $200 per person for a two tank dive, including rental gear.

• Dedicated Snorkel Trip (includes mask/fins): Requires a minimum of four participants.  $50 per person including snorkel gear for two sites.  The first site is in shallower water (depths of less than 10 feet) which allows snorkelers to see the reef and marine life up close.  The second snorkel site is chosen from one of the over 40 sites along the famous Grand Turk "wall" in the marine park.  The wall is actually a coral reef drop-off that begins in depths of 25-30 feet and plunges to depths of over 7,000 feet!

To help determine which of these trips might be best for you, please take the time to consider the following questions:

Certified divers should think about your most recent dive and ask yourself: Was I comfortable and relaxed in the water?  Was my buoyancy well under control?  Was my air consumption reasonable? Am I able to perform the basic underwater skills of clearing my mask and my regulator? Would I be comfortable in the water with my dive buddy if a dive instructor was not present?  If the answer to one or more of these questions is "no" you should consider our "Scuba Diving, Even Smaller Group" trip, our Snorkeling trip, or a private charter.

ANYone considering a snorkeling OR diving excursion should ask yourself:  Am I in reasonable physical shape?  Can I climb up a boat ladder to re-board a 24-28' skiff from the water without assistance?  Are my health and physical condition both well suited to participation in an outdoor sport which is subject to weather and sea conditions?  If the answer to one or more of these questions is "no" perhaps a different type of excursion would help you get the most enjoyment from your time on Grand Turk.  It is not our intention to dissuade people from either diving or snorkeling activities, but simply to encourage careful thought about the type of excursion best suited to your needs and personal situation so you will have fun during your short time here on our island.

As we are a small operation, not every trip type is available every day, and departure times vary depending on the ship schedule.  Please e-mail us with your date of arrival, cruise ship name, number in your party, and trip type preference so we can check specific trip availability for you.

Advance reservations are essential
Grand Turk is a very small island (7 miles by 1.5 miles), with only two operators who are licensed to take cruise ship passengers diving and snorkeling (apart from the cruise ship excursions).  We take bookings on a first come, first served basis, so some days can fill up quite quickly. If you want to be sure that you are able to get out on the water (which is beautiful here!) during your visit to Grand Turk, please contact us in advance of your arrival to make a trip reservation.
