On one of the afternoons that we were on Grand Turk.... we signed up for the picnic that the dive shop was hosting.


They loaded us into a small boat and we headed out to one of nearby, uninhabited islands.


When we were about 1/2 way there they stopped the boat and all of the dive staff put on their masks fins and snorkels. 


Turns out, we were making the equivalent of a quick stop at the grocery. 

We had stopped so the dive staff could dive for the Conch that would become a fresh salad and part of our lunch.


The water was clear enough that we could see the big Conch shells all over the bottom about 30 ft below.


We were invited to join in on the "shopping".... we did try but weren't able to make it all the way to the bottom, on snorkel, to pick up any of the Conch.
