- To Jeff Maurer:
-
- Many thanx for your nice posting on Grand Turk diving, in
- response to my request for info. I didn't get any poop on condos,
- so we will probably try to book something at the advertised inns.
- I am a fanatic shore diver (I hate regimented boat dives) and hope
- to try out the beaches of G. Turk wherever they get close to the reef
- (yes, I recall that this seemed to be only on the north and south
- extremities).
-
- You mentioned Salt Cay. We spent a week there, and with one
- VERY notable exception, the diving was really ho-hum (to be charit-
- able). The big exception was our one dive (only one allowed) on
- the Endymion, a 40-gun British frigate sunk in 1790. Way out in
- the waves, in a totally unsuitable dive boat (their old flat-bottom
- LCM from WWII). Bruise-city for my wife, but still a really memo-
- rable undisturbed shallow wreck dive, unlike anything else to be
- had in the Caribbean.
