My partner and I are planning a dive trip to the Caribbean this June. We're newbie divers - are certified with only a few additional dives under our belts... We certified in Curacao a year ago and really enjoyed the shore dives. We'd love to check out Grand Cayman but are wondering - are there varied dives for new divers and is there shore diving in addition to the boat diving?
Grand Cayman was our first dive trip in 2005 after getting certified (we'd been there once before as boring snorkelers). We stayed at Cobalt Coast, they have a nice shore dive in addition to boats. Some of the wall dives can be deep but you don't have to go as deep as everyone else does. I remember the diving having pretty nice visibility, really nice walls, loved tarpon alley and all the stingrays/turtles. I think GC set this expectation that we were going to see turtles on every dive in other locations which has not been the case. There's a lot to do topside also, definitely recommend renting a car so you can explore the entire island. Great restaurants too!
