Way up on the north end of the island, past the Turtle Farm & Hell, is a very laid back diver's resort called the Spanish Reef Resort. Anyone is welcome to snorkel or shoredive at their facility, and a nice little dive shop is there on the premises for your convenience, Resort Sports.

Since I was with Mom on this trip to Grand Cayman I mostly snorkeled, but decided to do one little shore dive up here. It was an easy and fun excursion, and the resort definitely looks like a pleasant laid back kind of spot for diving couples who don't want the hectic crush of the crowds around Georgetown at some of the other dive resorts in town.

Equipment: The dive shop has all you need if you didn't bring your own equipment - EXCEPT they do not rent out wetsuits! The water was actually warm enough while I was there that a wet suit wasn't required, but I had a dive skin to use anyway (for my personal protection from bumping into fire coral or jellyfish).
