Eden Rock Diving Center Ltd

Friendly staff. Easy 30' shore dive with plenty of swim throughs. Tarpons, turtles, and plenty of reef fish. Reef goes up to shallow water for snorkeling. Lunch on site at Silversides was delicious.

A good place for snorkelling in the capital of the Cayman Islands. Prices are reasonable and place is very convenient. It is also close to the port. I saw all kinds of different fishes but unfortunately no turtles nor stingrays. Was fun though. They have a bar for those who wait to get some refreshments and even snacks.

Take a right out of the cruise terminal and walk 8 minutes to Eden Rock for an affordable and memorable cruise excursion. We rented snorkeling equipment (including fins) for a very reasonable price at Eden Rock. I wish I had underwater photography equipment to include photos of what we saw while snorkeling, but you'll have to take my word that it was pretty awesome. Coral reefs, and many different types of tropical fish excited to swim with curious tourists made this very special. We enjoyed their cocktails and food menu while relaxing in the shade and the staff were very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the diving experience. A huge thank you to Mario and the team! We had an awesome time 🥳🤿🏊🏻🌞

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.

Very reasonably priced use of scuba gear. They have plenty of gear, fins, masks, if you need those, weights, bcs, regs, and tanks. We did a same day rental, called ahead and showed up without any reservation. The dive shop is conveniently located on the water with 2 ladders for access to swim to Eden Rock. The swim out to the reef is pretty far, in my opinion. We have only done boat dives in the past. They gave some instruction and a visual of where the reef was and dive route. They recommend to swim out to the reef, above the water, and then to descend once you’re out. I personally wish I had descended closer to shore, because I would have identified that depth gauge wasn’t registering anything consistent less than 35 feet, and could have more easily returned and swapped out gear. I wasn’t able to assess my rate of ascent or safety stop depth, so I stayed attached to my buddy, whose gauge worked. It wasn’t ideal. I would recommend a gauge check after entering the water, but before the swim out. The visibility was great. The water was calm. The reef itself was absolutely beautiful. Lots of fish and wildlife at the reef and all along the shoreline. Perfect spot for diving or snorkeling. There is a fresh water shower and a rinse tank, which is really nice to wash off the salt.

Did some research online, decided to snorkel here instead of booking an excursion through the cruise line. Great snorkeling on its own merits, even better with the outrageous value for the price of renting a locker. If we weren't sun-averse we would have stayed all day. This will definitely be our go-to spot whenever we're in Grand Cayman. Next time we will probably rent dive gear, too.

Short walk from the port. Awesome staff. Free snorkeling if you have your own equipment. But buy a drink or something to help support their business

What a great snorkeling and/or beginner dive spot. The English lady at the counter strongly dislikes her job and made for miserable customer experience. I wanted to buy new snorkeling mask, and was happy to give business my money but she just refused to help. We wanted to have lunch but restaurant closed. Overall, this place can be amazing with the right people.
