Things to do

Scuba Diving

Grand Turk offers scuba diving in a pristine environment, located on the world's third largest coral reef. The healthy corals, diverse marine life and exceptional visibility have made our island into a scuba diving destination - voted in the top 10 in the World - and top 2 in the Caribbean.

There are more than 25 excellent dive spots, starting at about 30 feet underwater, and then the ocean wall plunges down into the abyss. The wall is a 10 minute boat ride from the hotel beach, where your dive shop will conveniently pick you up. Osprey Beach Hotel can book your dive with any of the three dive shops on the island.
