Didn't they have a hurricane come through just a few days ago? I don't
think past dive reports will be much help.
But the answer is yes.

I've done both, day and night. Personally, they're a couple of my favorite
shallow dives, or were. The poster that mentioned the hurricane has a good
point. What was, may no longer be.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll have to check the conditions post
hurricane. We are not going down there until December so hopefully there's
still life at Eden's Rock.
For those of you who have dived it, was it worthwhile?

It's nice enough when it's calm, but gets churned up with a light swell. It
can get crowded, so try to time it when there aren't too many cruiseships in
port.

A lot depends on what you prefer. Grand Cayman has some spectacular wall
diving. I'm particularly fond of the north walls. If the choice is between
a dive along a sheer wall with waters dropping to thousands of feet, I think
I'd go for the wall dive. For a relatively shallow dive, however, Devil's
Grotto and Eden Rock are very nice. For a night dive, they're spectacular.

Eden Rocks is (was) interesting for its tunnels. It's all black and
white, tho -- the coral died a long time ago.

That was the story on Devil's Grotto when I dove it 15 years ago as
well.

Me three . . .I was amazed that there was so much "white" coral in that area,
although diving Devil's Grotto was fascinating, everyone was looking at the
fish, not the coral.
