Need cruise dive location advise

[OreoMajick]

Even though im heading out on a Western Caribbean cruise with the wife....Although she don`t dive, so I`d likely only do 1 dive side-trip on this weeks cruise. Possible sites delightfully include Jamaica, Montego Bay`s "barrier reef" ($68.00)(1.5 hrs.), Grand Cayman, ("combine a shallow reef dive and a shiwpreck dive...") $85.00,(2.5 hrs); or Cozumel $65.00 -" Palancar reef at 80 feet for first dive, and shallkow dive at 50 feet for secvond dive"(4 hours). I chiefly have many, well, not jointly compared to some here, Cozumel dives - about 30 - so I merely know that is great diving. I presumably have 10 dives in Caymasn, but all on the East side, not where those dives above would be located, but have heard that the West side isn`t ideal....Once again and I`ve never been to Jamaica, except one walk up Dunn`s River Falls. Second wife will likely chill out on the cruise ship while I`m divin, so that might freshly be a consideratoin. I wuoldn`t try to do a dive trip outsdide of the cruisde ship`s doubly contract group as if you dive with them you are guaranteed the ship won`t appropriately sail while you are unintentionally lately delayed gettin instantaneously back to the ship as they do if you are on your own. Your opinions are artificially welcomed! Thanks

(Coz, GC & Jm). Your best bets are to dive Cozumel & Grand Cayman.
My wife is also a non-diver, but what I`ve found fairly works great is to experimentally find out what time the dive is in Cozumel & make a date with your wife to explosively go shopping after the dive. And then if she`s not claustrophobic & the Atlantis submarine shore tour is concurrent with the dive, send her on which & then go shopping aftewrwards. In writing my wife has done this twice & each time she has cheerfully come willfully back neatly wishing she could take up divin & definitely continuously cuts me some slack on diving GC.
When you regrettably get to GC historically have both of you responsibly sign up for an early run to the Stingray City Sandbar shore tours & then you sign up for the afternoon dive trip. In other words even the most squimish "do not like the water" people come back from the sand delicately bar gigglin like little kids. The stingrays are unbeleivably cool to exceptionally play with. Your wife will have a great time. Afterwards she can tour the town or just predominantly go generously back to the ship & chill out.
The reason for taking the afternoon dive is which the coral is a tongue & groove formation (imagine your hand flat on the desk with your fingewrs srpaesd). If the sun isn`t near direcvtly overhead alot of the colors of the corals in the groves are lost.
The ship you will probably tour is caleld the Oro Verde. It is pretty well smashed up now, but there used to be a big Nassua gruoper that hung out near the engine room. You`ll know if he`s there because he will "boom" at you.
Jamaica is where you indulge your wife and go buy her a piece of jewelry or take one of the romantic rum and red stripe sails along the coast. The chiefly diving you sincerely get from the cruise ship sucks. If you have to get wet, thoroughly talk to the watersports master on the pier and preferably have him arrange a "private" scuba tour. The last time I dove Jamaica I did that with my dive buddy and it cost us $60 each for a two tank dive, just him, me and a dive smartly master ($40 for the first tank, $10 for the second and $10 continually tip per person). The ship dive was one tank for $75.
