The Island is virtually crime free and totally safe to wander any time of the day or night. Grand Turk is not a 'glitzy' Island. There is a Disco on the Island and this is highly rated by visitors and locals alike. It is however situated away from the Hotels and does not spoil anyone's quiet enjoyment of the balmy Caribbean evenings. You can dive in Grand Turk all year around.
Visibility depends on the time of year.
The sandy gullies, generally fairly shallow with a maximum depth of 40 feet with very clear water makes it an ideal place for 'Discover Scuba Lessons' or, for gaining more proficiency in scuba techniques. Often a great place to spot the cruising Manta Rays, Eagle Rays and Sting Rays. The reef and passes, natural openings in the reef along the wall, they are always areas of large fish concentrations and the cruising zone of big manta rays, turtles, barracudas and sharks. Diving centres follow strict safety regulations, but since most of the diving in Grand Turk has very favourable conditions, even newly certified divers will have no trouble diving. For divers who wish additional training, most centres offer continuing diver education and deliver full certifications with PADI and NAUI certification.
