Dive shop offering shore diving on two good dive sites. Also a great night diving spot with easy entry and a short swim out. Staff is super helpful and nice. Lobster, big crab, and octopus on night dive – via

Really enjoyed my dive experience here! The divemaster was great and got in two solid dives for us even though we didn’t have a lot of time, which we really appreciated. We saw plenty of cool fish, swam around in the reefs, and saw a ray! – via

The Good:
Two shore accessible coral reefs (Eden Rock and Devil’s Grotto) located in front of Eden Rock Diving Center, many large coral reef heads and spur & groove formations rising from a sandy 40 foot bottom to within several feet of surface in places, many swim throughs in the coral formations making for exhilarating diving and snorkeling.
The Bad:
Both Eden Rock Diving Center and its two adjacent shore accessible dive sites Eden Rock & Devil’s Grotto were heavily over run by passengers from 3 to 4 cruise ships in port all at the same time (in late December 2023, there must have been over 40 divers and snorkelers combined sitting at the diving center and in the water directly off shore from the diving center), and there were as well a few dive boats from other dive shops in the water at these two dive sites.
The two dive sites Eden Rock & Devil’s Grotto both had wide spread nearly all dead coral reefs lacking healthy color due to rising ocean temperatures and as a result there was very little marine life to be found with the exception of one sting ray and a small school of half dozen 2 or 3 foot long tarpon (it was very sad and disappointing to see such poor conditions). I don’t know why there are numerous fairly recent Google reviews saying the diving and snorkeling here is good or even great. It must be the reviewer’s lack of experience in seeing what an actual healthy and thriving coral reef looks like, and the younger generation can’t go back in time for a base of comparison (I feel lucky to have began diving in 1988 giving me the opportunity to see healthy coral reefs in many locations before global warming had taken a toll). Marine biologist and SCUBA diver John Christopher Fine recently had an extended stay in the Cayman Islands (including Grand Cayman) and was disturbed by what he found while diving its coral reefs. For what he found, you can go to the DiverNet website and search for and read his January 14, 2024 article with the title “Cayman coral problems in black & white”
The Eden Rock Diving Center had only a single outside shower for fresh water rinsing and it was skunky smelling water that stank up my wetsuit, swimsuit, etc.
This diving center will refuse to rent a tank to solo divers (even if they have a Self-Reliant Diver certification which they won’t honor) which their website does not make any mention of. But, if you are a regular here and happen to have befriended the employees, they will make an exception about solo diving and look the other way as I found to be the case when I talked to a solo diver after seeing him climb out of the water and walk into this diving center to return his rental tank. – via

The first week of January my fiance and I did a dive on Eden Rock Reef with awesome divemaster Alex after first meeting with Dive Instructor/Shop Manger Mario to discuss surf conditions for our shore dive.
The reef was beautiful and diverse with everything from barricuda to garden eels, grouper, tons of tropicals, tarpon…
Mario and the entire team were highly professional and safety oriented. We will be back.

I was in Grand Cayman for one day on a cruise. My dives with a different company had been canceled, and this place helped me out big time to get some dives in. I want to give a big thank you to Mario for taking me along with his group! They have some great diving just off the shore, and I would definitely use them again. – via

The dive shop is a great place to gear up and get advice, but this review is really more for the fact that they are very generous and allow use of their tables and rinse tanks and shower for anyone coming to snorkel as well. Small parking lot, don’t abuse their generosity and leave them some tips or buy some drinks, and also don’t forget the restaurant and bar next door in the same shared area.
As for Eden Rock itself: amazing, better than taking a boat tour to the coral gardens. In fact I was so disappointed I came back here in the afternoon after my boat tour ended. This is an excellent place for beginners and families with children (that have some swimming skills and floatation devices), as the water is usually quite calm and on some days, completely flat in the area. 400ft off shore are some of the largest, most accessible reefs you will find with tons of wildlife to view. 2 ladders to enter/exit the water, and the entry area is open and clear of hazards.
Make sure you take a look at the signs and maps before getting in, and spot the buoys that mark the reefs. – via

Scuba open water certification!
Mario was great. Excellent instructor. Was able to book me fairly last minute with another group. Prerequisites done online but we got all the practical portion (confined and open water dives) done in 2 days. Great location. Easy shore entry. Everything done right there in close proximity of the dive shop. Not the cheapest on the island but worked perfectly for our schedule. – via

Really nice and welcoming place. They have great facilities and you can either rent or use your own equipment, it’s a nice place to snorkel or dive even with small children. – via

Eden Rock has the best shore access snorkelling anywhere in Grand Cayman and we tried them all. Spectacular reefs 150 yards from shore. It’s completely free to enter with a good ladder to enter the water. The dive Center has a washroom, outdoor shower and equipment rentals as well as a bar. Mario runs the dive shop and he is extremely friendly and helpful. Of course the shore access diving is even better than snorkelling but we were there to snorkel. Whether diving or snorkelling, you need to try this place out. – via

Awesome spot to snorkel or scuba. You can bring your own gear or rent what you need there. Their back patio area was set up well to gear up and was nice to hang out.
The guy who gave us the site orientation was super knowledgeable and funny. – via
