Comments	Sea Eye Divers dive masters (DM) always asked us where we had been and tried to take us somewhere new each time. Most 1st dives were alone with DM and back to Osprey for SI and then a local retired couple often joined for 2nd dive. All dives were over 1 hour and few at 80+ minutes, depths 60 to 100 feet in 1st dives. Most dives good vis, but due to earlier storms none were great. Aquarium - turtles, Tunnels - great swim throughs, Amphitheatre - tight swim thru (optional of course)and sting rays, and nice wall after long shoot. Finbar - huge crab and cute porcupinefish. Osprey Beach Hotel: We got one of the newly renovated rooms with four poster king bed on second floor near bar. Room was perfect, bright, nice white tiles, beautiful dark wood furniture with white immaculate linens and nice deck over white sand beach and azure ocean. Jenny, the owner, was great, and Allan, the manager (and sometimes cook) ran a fun bar with locals and guests mingling and the best food on the island. We did not take meal plan as like to experiment. Nice to try other places but Osprey had nicest food in the end. Courtyard Cafe was great for breakfast and lunch with nice home made specials daily. The museum is great, with details on the Molassis Reef Shipreck etc and talk to the manager, Brian, who knows so much (you catch at the Osprey bar too).... GRAND TURK was great, the one thing we recommend is the tourist board push for a BOTTLE DEPOSIT SYSTEM so everyone will pick up their numerous pop and beer cans ...easy solution for minimal costs for the one blight we found when exporing by bike.
