What it's like

Eden Rock is a shore dive on the edge of George Town, the capital of Grand Cayman. Divers enter from the water's edge rather than from a boat, so no boat is needed to get in the water here.

The dive sits right beside Devil's Grotto, a set of underwater caves where silver sprats and tarpon gather. The walk from the harbor dock in George Town takes about 10 minutes.

Good to know

  • Eden Rock is a shore dive, so no boat is needed to get in the water here.
  • Wreck and deep dives need a hired boat and certification, so they are a separate outing from this shore entry.
