Grand Turk’s newest dive operation is officially open for business

Bohio Resort is pleased to announce the launch of its new Scuba Diving and Watersports Operations at Grand Turk’s Pillory Beach. The resort will offer a full range of diving trips and courses, as well as sailing, kayaking, fishing and other watersports activities to Island visitors and resort residents.

The resort, with comfortable air-conditioned accommodation just steps from one of Grand Turk’s pristine white sand beaches is ideally placed to take advantage of the region’s fabulous diving. With its proximity to the world’s third largest coral reef, protected within a marine reserve, the resort was recently voted best diving beach by US magazine Men’s Journal. A spectacular ocean wall, just a few hundred yards away was listed in the top ten advanced dive sites in April’s Scuba Diving magazine. Yet the region remains quiet and relatively undiscovered by the mass market.

Diving attractions include vertical walls, tunnels, vast coral gardens that are teeming with fish life, sharks, rays, dolphins, and rare black corals. The annual migration of the Atlantic humpback whale (January thru April) is worth the trip alone. The resort’s fast new 36’ catamaran dive boat can comfortably accommodate divers for excursions around Grand Turk, neighbouring islands and beyond. Top of the line Seaquest and Aqualung diving equipment is available to hire, and the resort boasts a state-of-the-art water-cooled Nitrox Compressor, the only one of its type in the Caribbean.



A natural sandy pool surrounded by a shallow house reef is perfect for snorkelers, swimmers and novice divers. The dedicated ecologically minded Bohio team boasts both international and local expertise, offering a wide selection of PADI courses and extensive knowledge of the local wildlife.

Aside from diving activities, other new hits at the resort are sailing boats and kayaks to hire, with lessons and guided trips available, as well as a weekly sailing regatta, deep sea fishing excursions, and UPV’s.

Other facilities include a full-size volleyball court, Swedish and Hot Rock massage, daily yoga sessions, as well as a gourmet restaurant and lively bars. Award-winning chef Zev Beck’s exquisite menu has a French, Italian and Asian influence with, of course, a Caribbean twist. He creates imaginative specials from the local catch of the day and seasonal ingredients. Another new attraction is his one-on-one cooking lesson, which can be coordinated with a fishing trip to collect your own ingredients. There are weekly beach barbecues and band nights to keep you entertained.

The resort has 16 rooms, 4 of them suites with cooking facilities, all with glorious sea views and balconies. All rooms are air conditioned, with ensuite facilities, ceiling fans, fridges and cable TV. Bohio is the old island name for a home – a name thoroughly befitting of the welcoming, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere of the resort.

Special diving packages will be on offer for groups of 10 or more.
