SunsetThe sunset on the porch in Grand turk
Hi, everyone this is my first blog. Well my trip started 10 months ago in Thailand where I did my training to become a scuba dive instructor and travel the world. Well guess what it happened!!.. I did it and now I’m now in Turks and Caicos Island on a island called the Grand Turk. I came here because I found employment with a dive shop called Blue Water Divers. And to follow my quest of finding year round summer.
The Grand Turks Island has about 3,500 people living here in a small community. On the island nothing is grown its all imported from Miami. Its located about an 1 ½ hour plane ride to grand Turks from Miami.
The island is only 6 miles long by 2 miles wide and it was once the headquarters for the salt trade in the early 60’s. It also became famous in 1962 when America’s first astronaut (John Glenn) to orbit the earth came down 30 miles off the shores of Grand Turk and was brought by helicopter to the former U.S base on the island.
The Island is a beautiful island with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. The
the wallPicture of Jeff and Laura on the wall..wow is that nice!!
main attraction on the island is snorkelling and scuba diving. On the west side of the island has the best wall diving goes from 10meter(30 feet) to 7000 feet down. Its one of the top ten places in the world to dive or snorkelling. . Yesterday I saw 3 turtles and a hammerhead shark!!! Hooo …What a hard life.
Currently I’m living in a 200 year old house right next to the beach. I haven’t been here too long now but I love it. The diving is great and the people are very nice as well. I’ll try a keep updating my time here.
