    The owners are honest with you. Our Snorkling trip got cancelled because the waters were too rough and we wouldn't enjoy it because we would swallow a lot of water, and we'd probably not see anything. They went out on their own earlier, and they were having troubles, so instead of taking our money, they just said no because it's not in our interest.

    Awesome dive outfit. King, our captain/DM, was truly superb and took us to some great dive sites. I’d dive with him any day, any place. He runs a great boat and leads a great dive. He lends a hand when needed and otherwise lets divers dive their way.

    Was here on a Friday afternoon and the beach was deserted. No shops were open and no one was around. The beach was absolutely beautiful. The piers had obviously been damaged by the most recent hurricane but I couldn't resist walking out on the one pier and I was rewarded with a beautiful view. If we had brought a picnic basket it would have been a perfect spot to have a romantic lunch. The water was crystal clear and you can see the amazing colors in the pictures. We just waded in the water for a little while before heading into town to explore. A few shops being open would have been nice, not quite sure where everyone was.

    Fantastic small dive shop. Kristen, Henry and King were wonderful to dive with. Very small groups and outstanding dives. We planned to only do 4 days of diving while we were in Grand Turk, but because of how awesome the staff was we ended up diving 2 additional days. We also decided to do our advanced certification while we were here. Henry is a great instructor and made complex topic much easier to understand. Can't speak highly enough about Blue Water Divers. If you are coming to Turks and Caicos, skip Provo and come to Grand Turk. While here dive with Blue Water Divers!

    Really loved my time with blue water divers. Kristen was super helpful getting everything set up and letting us know what to expect. I finished my open water certificate with Henry. He was super knowledgeable and really helped me understand what I was doing. He made sure that it was not only a learning experience, but that I also had fun and got to see a ton of marine life. King was great about making sure my equipment was dialed in and ready to go! Wouldn’t go to anyone else after diving with them!

    Nothing but love for Blue Water Divers! 😍 Grand Turk may be small but these guys are big on customer service, have great communication and are fairly priced. Nick was a pleasure to work with on our snorkeling trip and showed us a great time.

    I chose BWD as they were a smaller shop , had a padi5 credential and weren't widely noted on travel advisor. Since I'm a more experienced diver, I did not wanna be held down by (less experienced) cruise ship divers. In summary, the diving at grand Turks was top notch, most pristine coral, walls, fish ever! I dove with dive master Nick and King. I found them to be very knowledgeable laid back and friendly. The strength of grand Turks is the quality of the water, the reef, the pristine coral and the laid back atmosphere. It is truly diving heaven. I recommend blue water divers at GT to anyone!

    Just finished a few minutes ago! Saw a few turtles and stingrays and an awesome reef! Awesome instructor! It was a small group of 4 of us which was way better than larger 10+ people groups. Better off here than through carnival!

    We cruised to Grand Turk Nov. 27, 2022. We didn't have much time in the port but Blue Water Divers did a great job of taking the worries away. I contacted them months ago and was supposed to go diving with them in October but hurricane damage to the port prevented us from doing so. We did not find out until just a few days before our scheduled stop. I contacted Kristen and she was very understanding, rescheduled us, and applied our deposit to the new date. The crew at the dive shop were great. They made us feel right at home and took us on 2 fantastic dives. We are new to diving (les than 20 dives) so their patience and confidence was a huge plus. We were able to see the Gorgonian Wall and the Approach Landing sites. It was better than we had imagined. The first dive at the Wall we had some curious sharks check us out. Then there was so much marine life and various types of coral and plants it was unbelievable. The reef is so full of life it is hard to take it all in. I cannot wait to go back and spend more time there. We will definitely be looking to BWD for that adventure.

    Privacy on a public beach. Gorgeous views and crystal water.

  • 5/5 Denise S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time diving in Grand Turks and I could not have asked for a better experience! Henry was an absolute gem of a guide and very helpful (and kind) while assisting me with my gear. Out of all the dives I have been on, this was my favorite. I can't wait to go back again for an extended weekend and see what else we can see! The turtles were fun to be around!

  • 5/5 Hank H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Super professional and a ton of fun. They know the places to dive and it's such an easy setup. Shop is across from the dive boat, dive sites are 10mins from there. Henry, kristen and king are great!! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Heather L. 1 year ago on Google
    Blue water divers were absolutely amazing! Kristen is wonderful in scheduling and staying in contact answering all my questions prior to diving. Super easy to schedule and work with. Henry and Nick were our dive masters for three days. Extremely knowledgeable and fantastic at showing exquisite dive sites. Each one unique and beautiful. Absolutely recommend them and can’t wait to come back and dive again!! Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable trip!!

    Public access to one of many fine beaches along the Western shore. Parking may be difficult to find at times. The waters are clear and contain several coral nodes as well as old coral formations, no longer a living reef. Snorkelling is fair with numerous small fish ad well as areas with little marine life. From shore look close at the color of water offshore where it changes from turquoise to dark blue. This change in color is the s"tart of "The Wall" a 7,000 foot deep trench attracting scuba divers from around the world.

    Had an amazing experience with Blue Water Divers. I highly recommend diving with them. They are very knowledgeable about the locations that are best for diving. Kristen was extremely helpful and very friendly. Our guide was a lot of fun.

    Beautiful beach but not much else

  • 5/5 Stefanie C. 10 months ago on Google
    5 star experience for sure! From the moment I contacted Blue Water Divers, which was very last minute due to some unforeseen travel issues, I knew it was going to be a good experience. Kristen responded to my email quickly, and was happy to set up our dives within just a couple of days including our refresher course. We arrived and they had absolutely everything ready to go for a private dive just for us. Fantastic service. Nick took us out, and he was great! Very professional, and clearly focused on safety and personal comfort for us. It had been several years since my last dive, so I was a bit nervous getting back at it, and he made sure we were comfortable and confident before heading out. He pointed out several things along the dive as well including a pretty cool reef shark checking us out from below. The dives were great--it's a very short boat ride from shore, and diving the wall is a unique experience. It was fun and a bit eerie all at once. Grand Turk has over 40 dive sites, so there are lots to choose from depending on the time of year. I’d highly recommend diving (or snorkeling) with Blue Water Divers. You won’t regret it. We’re already looking forward to coming back, hopefully during whale season, and doing more dive sites with them.

    Dived with these guys while on holiday in T&C. Kirsten and Henry were fantastic. I hadn't been diving for years, so did a refresher. Henry was great and very patiently got me back up to speed. Can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Bob l. 8 months ago on Google
    Blue Water Divers was Amazing. Kristen was the best in staying in communication with me. We came down on a cruise in July. She was able to make arrangements so my son and I could get a dive in while we were in port. Our dive instructor Henry was excellent, this was my son fist time diving. He made him feel very comfortable in the water which added to his fist experiences scuba diving that he will never forget. I would highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 Ashly K. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and informative staff. Would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to scuba or snorkel.

  • 5/5 Esther W. 5 years ago on Google
    We had the Greatest Experience! This was only our 2nd open water dive and I was struggling with my buoyancy. Henry was our divemaster and he was so patient and helpful. My husband was amazed at my improvement with Henry's coaching. Water was super clear and Beautiful. We saw sting Ray's, shark, sea turtles and so much more. Kristen was terrific at answering all of our question when booking and her emailed details made everything go very smoothly. This was an Experience of a Lifetime for us! Highly recommend Blue Water Divers, you wont be disappointed.

    Such an amazing experience!!! We finished up our certification with Blue Water Divers. We loved all our interactions with Henry, Kristin and King! Such great personal attention and care. Thank you Blue Water Divers! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Sarah Q. 5 years ago on Google
    Best diving staff around!! Professional and friendly.. Kristen, king and Henry make sure you experience the most comfortable and beautiful diving you have ever done and seen! Can't wait to dive with them again :)

  • 5/5 Chris W. 5 years ago on Google
    Fanatastic choice to break away from the cruise ship crowd. We booked ahead, communication and follow up was great. Well planned, saftey 1st excursion. Take your spouse and or family. Private beach for them to swim at while you scuba. Thanks again to a wonderful Staff. We had a great time! Will repeat.

    This was our second visit to Blue Water Divers during cruise stops. Lani was a lot of fun, cheerful, patient and guided us through an outstanding experience. Thank you! Shout out to Kristen for making us feel very welcome and Henry for entertaining us with interesting information about the island. Could not ask for a better trip. We will be back someday... Can't come soon enough!

  • 5/5 Jo B. 5 years ago on Google
    Had a great time getting my PADI Open Water Certification with Henry at Blue Water Divers. Getting certified was a bit of a last minute decision but Kristen made it easy to sign up and get started on the eLearning. So glad I took this opportunity to learn to dive in Grand Turk ( although it might have ruined me for diving anywhere else 😁)

    This was our second time snorkeling with Blue Water Divers, and we'll definitely be back! Lani and the rest of the staff are so helpful and patient and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and make sure you have a great experience. I highly recommend them for snorkeling if you're visiting Grand Turk.

    They saved the end of our cruise adventure when a snuba expedition we'd booked through the cruise line (Princess) was cancelled. They worked hard to fit us into the second half of a two tank dive expedition. Turned out to be one of the best dives we've logged so far! The boat crew was friendly and extremely professional. We saw some excellent corals and fish and even got to hear a whale song! Blue Water Divers has our undying gratitude for turning a hopeless situation into an awesome lifelong adventure! Much thanks to Kristen, Josh and Lonny!

  • 5/5 Matt C. 5 years ago on Google
    The crew is excellent. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. Great dives. Boats were never full. Manageable number of people. And they are great at checking viz to find the perfect site each time. Will definitely go back.

    September Review: Since I cannot post a new review, I will add on to my original. What more can I say about this amazing business. It technically is a business but to us, it feels like our family. I'm not sure how to spell his name, but Kendry, an island local and dive guide, was the friendliest young man and took us on a wonderful trip. From the "Anchor" to the "Great Wall" and everything in between, he gave us another unbelievable trip and memory. Thank you guys again for everything. When we come back next year, beers are on us. Have fun and do good!!!!! April Review: The best experience we have ever had as a family. This group made us feel at home from the first second. Everything great about the island is represented here. From the smiles to the clear blue water, this is the place to go. Our guide taught us a lot about the island and was an excellent help making our daughter feel comfortable in the water. We have already booked our next cruise for September and we will be back again for sure. Have fun and do good!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Susan S. 5 years ago on Google
    My husband and I went snorkeling with another couple one morning. Our price with taxes was $156. We went to two different sites. I'd highly recommend their personalised service. Safety was a top concern, with satisfaction a close second.
