Comments	Not as many fish as I've seen on other dive trips - that was disappointing. Water was cooler than I expected. Must bring own food or order it in advance from the dive shop to avoid expensive eating out. No groceries on island. Dive operation very accomodating to our group of 10. The divemaster, John, had only been there three weeks, so he was still learning the dive sites; after some prompting, Ollie, an owner, started pointing out some stuff on the reef. The crew switched over our tanks, took our weights and bc's as we exited the water. They also put our bc's with tanks and weights on us, as we sat on the stern of the boat with our masks and fins on -ready to dive. Included in dive package is a day trip to Grand Turk, 9 miles away, with two dives there. Great restaurant at Island Thyme. Always a fairly strong breeze, which was quite comfortable - never too hot or too cold. $.50 a pound charged by Interisland Airways for over 40 lbs of luggage from Provo to Salt Cay.
