Falcon, I think diving while cruising is a great way to get a few good dives and spend a week with your non-diving wife (in my case). We cruised on the Conquest January 12 and I dove at Grand Cayman. I also used Neptune Divers (www.neptunedivers.com). Casey is great and goes out of her way to make sure cruise ship divers can pull this off. The Conquest anchors at 7:00 a.m., take the first or second tender to shore and then a taxi to Public Beach, that is where Neptune Divers has their boat. (make reservations before you leave) We did a great dive on the West Wall to 110 feet, the a cool wreck (Doc Paulson). The ships dive went to the Oro Verde. After these two dives Casey dropped me off in town and I dove at Eden Rock. This was awesome and almost as good as the boat dive. Very cool tunnels at Devils Grotto. Barely caught the last tender back to the ship at 3:00. For Cozumel I had reserved a dive with the ship because of the late arrival in port, but all diving in Cozumel was canceled that day due to weather. Rented a moped instead and snorkeled off the east side. That was cool, but I sure wish I could have dove there. I'll be back for sure some day. You should be able to find an operator in Cozumel leaving at 1 or 2 and returning by 5:30 if you check around. Otherwise book with the ship. Have a great time!
