    nice dive

    We dove Devil's Grotto with a guide at Eden Rock. It's a very nice dive and the guide helped us by pointing things out. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend a dive at this spot.

    Eden Rock Best Local Dive Spot!

    Want a great in-town dive? Eden Rock is the place to stop. I've dove this site at least 30 times- and this latest dive was no different. Great swim-throughs and the Tarpon hang out beside you.

    Sorry, i did not swim out that far so i cannot say but it did seem too far (from the shore) for me. Yes, there are picnic tables outside to sit at, if she wants.

    It is really more like one big reef than two distinct structures. I will usually enter the water at the Paradise Restaurant entrance, fight off the Tarpon and snorkel in a circular path around the exterior both areas (Eden Rock then Devi's Grotto) and then return back over the middle of the reef. If you want to enter closer to Devil's Grotto then the Eden Rock Dive Center entrance would be the choice. I find the Devil's Grotto section to be a little more interesting since it has the caves...More

    Anyone can recommend me a best dive spots? (3 Replies)
    So far that I am interesting to dive are Stingray City, Devil Grotto, and Mermaid statue. Anyone else can recommend me more? I like beautiful reef view with many tropical fishes. I also want to dive where sea turtles or sharks had been spotted often.

    Your best bet is to leave your dive spot decisions to the DM. Conditions and currents vary by day and they will know best on the day of your dive.
