  1. First trip back post pandemic. Dove with “Just Dive” (formerly Lobster Pot Dive Center) Mike and Steve have bought the dive ops from LP and are getting a great reputation for first class diving. They’re a growing business and go the extra mile to accommodate you and make it a great day.  They have now moved to the Atlantis building on the water in GT…an even better location close to the cruise dock, and base their timings to make them “cruise ship friendly.” Strongly recommend you give them a try. www.justdivecayman.com or +1 (345) 936 8685.

     

    Apologies for the blatant plug but they are great guys and they really are THAT good!

    PS Whatever you do, don’t go to the old “Lobster Pot” or you’ll miss the boat! 😂

  3. I have been to GC many times and dived with the Lobster Pot. I have had nothing but great diving and service experience. They are a couple of minutes walk from the terminal - but will pick you up if you wish. Their boats never have more than six divers, they’re fast - less than ten mins even to furthest sites, and they are great fun to be with - especially Owner Mike ( who has a fantastic English sense of humour) You will feel like you have known them for years. 
     

    Importantly, their boats leave a little later than the others deliberately to meet the cruise ship timings, so you will never be worried about missing the dive boat. They know all the timetables so you’ll be back in good time.

     

    Personal view is that you’ll get some of the best diving on the island with the Lobster Pot Dive Center. 

  4. Grand Cayman - Lobster Pot Dive Center ( www.lobsterpotdivecenter.com ) - Go from their owned dock about 300 yards north of the cruise ship dock. Lobster Pot developed a good reputation for cruise shippers - boat leaves at 9am (or later if cruise schedules dictate) which gives them a run at the best deep dives on the west and south west since most other operators have gone from their first dives by that time. Ten minutes to the dive sites in their fast boat -  never more than six divers on board, with two or three instructors. 

     

    Headed up by Mike, an Englishman with a great sense of humour and  highly professional too. His team reflect his personality and professionalism. They know the sites like the backs of their hands - and you can't get more relaxed diving.

     

    They have the cruise ship schedules at hand and can always tailor something to suit. Not the overpriced cattle boat trips you get with the Cruise Line organised excursions.

    Suggest you look at their Trip Advisor reviews they have become the number one stop for cruise shippers who want proper diving.  

  5. Strongly recommend you try the Lobster Pot Dive Center.

    They have their own dock about 250 yards from the Cruise dock - although they will pick you up from opposite the cruise dock if you want them to.

     

    The Lobster Pot boat goes at 9am in order to accommodate the cruise ship timetables. They know all the schedules and have turned this into a fine art - they get you there, give you a great time and get you back in good time for lunch - or if you are pushed - the last tenders.

    Their boat is a 26 foot dusky with never more than six divers and always two or three instructors on board to guide you. Its a long way from the usual "cattle boat" approach of the Cruise line organised excursions with the "big operators." Leaving their dock at 9am they can usually pick and choose the best of the deep wall dives as most operators leave at 7:30am and have already left the mooring buoys by the time you need them. All the best deep dives are up in the north west which in the fast boat they have takes no more than ten minutes. These guys know the best sites on the west and make sure they get you there. When current and water allow they will often head to the south west where the coral is also fantastic. Kittiwake too if you want it.


    They have everything you might need too - regs, wetsuits, computers, fins, masks and nitro available too. 

     

    The shop is headed up by co owner Mike - an Englishman with a great sense of humour and the ultimate professional. Mike will do his level best to accommodate your needs - weather permitting, he'll get you a good dive somehow. His team reflects his personality and professional standards too so you are guaranteed a good couple of dives.

     

    They have developed a strong reputation with cruise shippers - suggest you have a look at their Trip Advisor reviews.
