Haven't been there in several years so this info is both obsolete (probably) and subjective (definitely). However...
I too liked to do the requisite AM boat wall/reef dive followed by several PM/dark air shore dives. Abanks shop just south of G'Town and Eden Rock Dive Centre, a stumble further south, are located at some beautiful reefs; "Eden Rock" (duh) and "Devil's Grotto." A half a click, +/-, further south brings you to the ever popular Sunset House. Dining by the sea, fresh water pool, beer between dives, all the comforts of home and a dive shop to boot. The Mermaid's there. Saw that sub on many dives. Kinda neat. Good place to stake out a table and spend an afternoon through an evening.
At the north end of SMB is the Cracked Conch By the Sea (where the Dive Tech shop was and maybe still is in addition to their resort). Nice entry, fantastic overhangs. Plus dining by the sea, beer between dives and maybe still a dive shop(?). Went to Cemetery and South Sound but never really found the sweet spot. Dove from Foster's old shop on the north edge of G'Town on some half-axed wreck. No big deal. Would like to try Bonnie's Arch/Turtle Farm area, just south of the Cracked Conch. And maybe the pier at Cobalt Beach Resort/Dive Tech.
(Having just spoken with my attorney I'm now adding that the previous beer comments are hereby revoked and to be considered null and void.)

There is still diving at the Cracked Conch...it isn't Dive Tech, but it is a great shore dive. The new Dive Tech location at Lighthouse Wall is a nice dive, even not going all the way out to the wall. And then as was already mentioned Cobalt Coast is a great dive.
