Cobalt Coast Dive Resort

During out visit to Grand Cayman in March 2013 we dove with Cobalt Coast for 7 days. This included daily 2 tank dives. Although their location is secluded, the property and accommodations is top notch. This location allows easy access to North wall dive sites, which are amazing. The diving here includes massive coral structures and swim-throughs. Look for hiding nurse sharks between the coral formations. Cayman is best known for their wall which diving out of this operation won’t disappoint, especially the North wall. The snorkeling and shore diving is excellent off the dock. Cobalt Coast is a perfect location for beginners or anyone looking to take their open water portion of their dive certification. Their pool is great for instruction and the ability to shore dive off the dock makes learning easy and stress free. Their dive shop and divemasters are also well equipped for experienced or technical diving. There are plenty of fun rental options including cameras and underwater scooters. Their house reef is beautiful with a small wall that runs parallel to the shore. There are various marine life and fish including oceanic triggerfish, turtles, and tarpon. Underwater there are markers for easy navigation back to the dock. The boat captains and dive masters were excellent during our week diving. The wind and weather had shifted for 2 days making it difficult to depart from their dock. They could have easily cancelled diving for these days but they drove the boat to the other side of the island and drove us in vans to meet the boat. We were able to dive these two days despite the unusual weather. I’ve never seen a dive operation perform such a smooth transition under last minute weather changes. I would recommend staying at their resort as they offer great shore diving, pool deck and reliable restaurant / bar. I would recommend renting a vehicle when staying here. Having a car gives you the option of going out in town to eat or explore the island.
