I would pick Sunset House over Eden Rock. Lots of cruisers dive and snorkel at Eden rock so you might possibly encounter quite a few people there. Also, since does get a lot of traffic, the site might not be in as good of shape as Sunset House.

 

I would also consider the shore dive at http://www.divetech.com at their turtle farm location. It gets good reviews and should have less traffic, and probably is in better condition than either of the 2 southern sites mentioned above.

Did shore dives at DiveTech in Nov & Feb ..... very nice uncrowded reef. I think each time we were there, we saw no more than 3 or 4 other divers, always just in passing. Considering the condition of the island, the reef area appeared to be in good shape. Saw numerous rays, good fish life, and even found a 5 ft nurse shark napping under a ledge. You can grab the bus in town in front of the library, and then grab a bus back no problem.

Not that I'm aware of. We had the standard hard weights when we were there. Of course you can always shoot them an e-mail and ask.

Sunset House shore dive - highly recommended. Have been diving there for nearly 20 years. Easy in and out and a great place to eat right after the dive (assuming My Bar is back open post hurricane). Good place for a new diver - with plenty for experienced divers too. My favorite place for a nite dive. Some of my best u/w pics are from 100 yard radius of the ladder!

just back off Carnival conquest and did the shore dive at sunset house. I would recommend this to anyone. It was an easy walk from downtown dock. Not crowded at all. We saw a nurse shark just after entering water, then a turtle. Lots of stuff to see there.

The Sunset House dive from shore is within walking distance of the tender drop off and a very nice dive. Just go early, as trade winds and current picks up after 11am.
