I'm not sure if it is too large a request. Obviously the value of sticking with a single DO is apparent, but I know it is impractical for many to sevice all the best sites due to distance from their boat's anchorage. Are there affiliates? Perhaps it is best to find which shops regularly schedule certain sites and build my own schedule around making reservations with each of those DO's, but I lose any discount for volume that way. Any suggestions?
Also is there a cheap airport hotel suitable for layovers without paying for a resort experience?
Thanks in advance?
 
Only Red Sail Sports has operations that cover all of the diving areas of Grand Cayman. They have shops on the West Side that cover South, North, and West. Their shop in East End covers East.

No operator runs an exact schedule of their dive sites. Other than Stingray City dives, it is usually based upon sea conditions and diver requests.
 
define "all" sites. How long are you there for?
 
Drew is right on. We dive with Seven Mile Beach-based Neptune's Divers who cover the north, west and south. For East End diving, we do a day or two with Ocean Frontiers.

There are many operators on the SMB area. I've only dived with three operators there so I can't say which is "The Best". But for the last three trips we've dove with Neptune's and have always been very happy with them and their small groups.

I can't think of a cheap airport hotel. Sorry. Hopefully one of the Cayman residents can think of something for you.

Hope this helps...

The only airport hotel closed a few years ago. The building was converted and is now used for office space by Cayman Airways.

You might look at Comfort Suites or Sunshine Suites for a more affordable hotel stay in GC. Neither are directly on the beach, so that usually brings the price down somewhat.

Sometimes one of the few B&Bs can offer a price that very competitive. Shangri-La Bed and Breakfast is in West Bay.
 
No airport hotel that I can think of.
I would check the Comfort suites, but don't expect to pay 99$ like in the US
