If I can only do a 2-tank guided boat dive (cruise ship stop in Grand Cayman), and giving the choice to dive the west wall (from near the cruise terminal) or north wall (slightly more travel, from the Cayman Island Yatch Club), what would you recommend?

Also, I was hoping to find dive ops with 100' tanks, but seems like few in Cayman have larger tanks.
 
North Wall definitely. The west wall can't hold a candle to some of the north wall sites, though the East End is even better.

North Wall would be best, if you can only dive the west then go to Trinity Caves or Orange Canyon or Big Tunnel. Also, if you do the North Wall, Stingray city is on the inside part of the reef near the North Wall. Going to the North Wall would then give you a deep dive then shallow at Stingray City. It would be best advised that you seach out an independent that would do the dives that way. An operator connected with Pod people may have their own itinerary, your mission is to find an op that will do it your way (this should not be mission impossible).
