Eden Rock, som ligger nära hamnen i George Town på Grand Cayman, är en av stadens mest uppskattade dykplatser. Med ett stort antal genomgångar och grottor är sportdykning vid Eden Rock aldrig detsamma, oavsett hur många gånger du besöker platsen. På grund av det ringa djupet är dykning vid Eden Rock en favorit för nybörjare och snorklare, men även den mest erfarne dykaren kommer att tycka att det här är en spännande dykning.
Det är bekvämt att det finns ett dykcenter precis intill dykplatserna Eden Rock och Devil's Rock, men ändå kommer alla dykcenter och dykanläggningar i området att besöka platsen. För att undvika topptider, dyk in via besökande liveaboards, där det också är möjligt att dyka Caymans två systeröar, de otroliga platserna Cayman Brac och Little Cayman.
