 StingRay City, Grand Cayman by starship
When we were there, we were the first boat in the area and saw no stingrays. But in a matter of moments, there were scores of stingrays waiting for their daily meal!! (They are very NON-AGGRESSIVE, so don't mistreat them and they will stay that way!) Later after this experience, I wondered why sharks didn't make their own appearance considering the abundance of food being offered by the tourists!
We purchased this trip as a shore excursion from our ship which, at the time, was less than $50 each. Check on shore near the tender pier for companies selling these excursions, or book ahead online which maybe less expensive.
NOTE: It is a good idea to bring some cash to purchase food to feed the stingrays, and also if you wish to purchase a photo that the captain will take. (I believe the photo will be on a disk.) Although the picture was a little expensive, I feel that ours was one of the best pictures ever taken of our family on vacation and certain in a unique setting. If you feel that the crew has done a good job and given you a great experience with the stingrays, you may wish to tip them.

 Signs and dock at Cobalt Coast by diver-x
You can sign one waiver and run one tab for both the Lighthouse Point and Cobalt Coast Dive Tech locations. They just call the other location to confirm information.
Also, when we were there, they had a special going, $20 for shore diving and lunch, which is a great deal! Especially considering that rental for tanks & weights is $15 and you can't even buy groceries to make your own lunch for $5 on Grand Cayman! Leave a Comment Address: Cobalt Coast Resort, 18 Sea Fan Drive, West BayPhone: (345) 946-5658Directions: Your best bet is to stop in at the kiosk at Lighthouse Point and ask for directions and a map to Cobalt Coast. It is north of Lighthouse Point and Turtle Reef, and small signs point the way.Website: http://www.divetech.com/ Other Contact: (345) 946-5659 fax

Just about all of the dive shops around George Town and West Bay have 2 reefs: one shallow and one deep wall. The shallows are from 30-60 feet deep. Then 50-100 yards further from shore, across sandy flats, you'll hit the deep wall at around 70 feet and you will never see the bottom. Leave a Comment Directions: All of the shore dive locations were in George Town and West Bay. Just stick to the road along the shore and you'll run into all the great spots.

 The entry at Turtle Reef by diver-x
Note that this location used to be run by Dive Tech but they have moved down the street to a new location they are calling Lighthouse Point - and Dive Tech still has their second location at Cobalt Coast Resort. I had no complaint with Sun Divers, except that they didn't have a map of the dive site like most other dive shops. But they were quite accommodating for us since we were staying in the condos next door, they let us take their tanks off site so that we could do a night dive at our condo at Coconut Bay. Most dives shops don't let you take tanks away. We decided to enter the water at the condo and we swam south, exiting at Sun Divers. Very convenient, and we saw a good sized octopus! Great dive!
There's also a nice little bar outside right by the ladder into the water where you can watch the divers go in and out of the water day and night. Also convenient for warming your bones if you're getting out of the water yourself! Leave a Comment Address: Sun Divers at Turtle Reef, 857 NW Point RoadDirections: Sun Divers at Turtle Reef is next to the Tortuga Rum shop in West Bay, and just downstairs from the Cracked Conch by the Sea restaurant. Unfortunately it appears they don't have a web site yet!

 The entry at Spanish Bay
couldn't be easier. by diver-x
Keeping my original tip in hopes the site is refurbished and open to the public soon:
You don't have to be a guest at Spanish Bay Reef Resort to dive there. The diving there couldn't be easier and the North Wall is a short swim straight out. Steps with a railing lead you into their entry cove protected by a mini-jetty. Surface-swim over the shallows toward one of the 3 marker buoys and drop down when the reef starts to look interesting. Follow any one of the reef fingers straight down to the wall. You can easily get into trouble by going too deep, so watch your guages. Steadily go shallower and shallower back to the top of the mini-wall and your safety stop is built-in with your shallow swim back to the resort. We explored nearly every inch of reef between the 3 marker bouys on our return trips from the deep wall. There's a lot to see. Leave a Comment
