I think it was more to do with the water temperature being a bit lower and that seemed to drive away some of the bigger life. Just a theory advanced last time I was down there.

christophermcgrady:Just got back from diving West Caicos (out of provo) and Grand Turk. Visibility sucked on both islands. Maybe we just had bad luck --less than 60 feet. Not a lot of big stuff. If the visibility was better, the reefs, fish, and coral would have been excellent. Dove with Oasis on Grand Turk - they were great.
BubbleBunny:Hi there. I'm getting ready to head out to Grand Turk next week with a group of close family and friends. My heart skipped a beat when I read your post! Did they give any reason or excuse for the poor vis on GT? Tropical storms, building of the port?????
Our group decided to go in summer despite the hot weather for a chance at 125'+ vis.
Granted where I live and dive, 20' is an awesome day! So, even 60' blue would be a huge improvement over our emerald waters. Call me an optimist.
We're diving with Oasis as well. Glad to hear their service was great. So far, Dale has been a pleasure to work with.
Where did you stay? Since we have a group of 13 divers, we're at the Osprey. Any inside advice?
