Shore Diving in Grand Cayman

[richhagelin]

If you could only do two shore dives in Grand Cayman, which two would they be and where are they?

Turtle Reef at Dive Tech in West Bay, and Babylon on North Side.

richhagelin, are you on a cruise ship tendering into George Town?

If yes you'll find 6 scuba shops within a stone's throw from the tender. I've dove with Eden's Rock - really great group. Each of these shops have stair wells that lead down immediately into the water! The tender is on the South Shore.

To get to the suggestions from Cave Diver you'll need to get transportation.

Turtle Farm Reef

Cobalt Coast (quasi-shore dive) I opted for the water taxi to get out to the wall, then drift down in front of CC and slow swim into dock.

I agree completely with CWB. I've been diving Cayman for ten years and just returned from a two week stay. The Cobalt Coast dive taxi (zodiac) is a must or you will have a 20-25 minute swim out to the main wall. My wife saw a huge scorpionfish about ten feet from the pier ladder in 4 feet of water.
At the Turtle Farm you can go either right or left and have a nice mini-wall dive. Lots of fish life due to the effluent of the farm operations.

Turtle Reef. I have not dove off Cobalt Coast, but I would think the diving would be just as good as Turtle Reef.
