'Hood Divers do Grand Turk 4/26/99 - 5/2/99

Party Pics 1999

The Hood Divers are a group of neighbors in Norcross, Georgia who are best known for their Halloween parties featuring a community effort "graveyard" filled with dozens of hand-carved pumpkins that terrorize and entertain children and adults alike each fall.

Now, no community is safe as we assault the sleepy island of Grand Turk flying the logo of the Hood Divers bat - soon to be as feared as the Jolly Rodger throughout the carribean... We picked on Oasis Divers who proved to be equal to the task, providing personal service, a friendly atmosphere, and a little guidance as needed for the newer divers amongst us. Definitely visit Everette and Dale if you are tempted to follow in our footsteps.

The island of Grand Turk is small - only 7 miles long and 1 mile wide. It also boasts some of the friendliest people I've ever met. From Robert at the Diplomat Cafe and Pool Hall who rustled up enough food for 6 hungry divers after a night dive, to "Gunny" who runs the "New Ice Cream" shop with his neighbor while spouting ambitious plans for future projects. Also worth mentioning is the stately lady who serves breakfast and lunch at the Salt Raker and a fun couple who keep the bar and restaurant at the "Water's Edge" lively.
