Two of my family's primary hobbies are geocaching and scuba diving. We've found quite a few scubacaches over the years and hid a few ourselves. It was always a task to find scubacaches because we couldn't find a centralized list of them anywhere, including here on ScubaBoard or Geocaching Forums. So, a few years ago, I decided to put one together. I'm not certain why it hasn't occurred to me to share it here before now. I update it 3-4 times a year. If any of you come across any that I've missed, please send me the GC code, and I'll add it.

Here's the link to the Worldwide - Scubacaches geocache list.
Here's the link to our favorite Scubacache, which we happened to place:
ScubaClover’s Wrecked Cache - Sea Tiger

I hope some of you find this helpful.

In case you don't know what geocaching is, here's a quick description straight from the geocaching blog itself:

Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor adventure that is happening all the time, all around the world. To play, participants use the Geocaching app and/or a GPS device to navigate to cleverly hidden containers called geocaches. There are millions of geocaches in 190 countries waiting to be discovered—there are probably even some near you right now. Geocaching started in early 2000. When the website launched, only 75 geocaches had been hidden. Today, there are over 3 million geocaches and millions of active geocachers playing the game. Geocaches come in all different shapes, sizes, and difficulties and are hidden in both rural and urban settings. Geocaching offers something for everyone, from families with children to retirees. Some geocachers play the game to see how many total “finds” they can get, while others play to see how many new states or countries they can visit. Geocaching is a great way to find remarkable destinations that you would not have otherwise discovered. It is also an excellent education tool and an excuse to get off the couch.
 
I’m better now at finding scuba caches than I was when I first posted an inquiry about it here a few years ago, but I really hate wrecks so I’ve skipped some, like the Kittiwake, Hilma Hooker, and Superior Producer, but I’ve still managed to log some scuba smilies. Your list is great, but I don’t see any Grand Cayman caches on it. I know of four: GC4BAC0, GC5KB3N, GCA6939 and GC7MVAM. Happy caching!
 
Pretty sure there is at least one on the Tibbetts (sp) off Cayman Brac
