    Golden Eye, off Ocho Rios, is a relaxed dive site. We found a gentle slope, good for those looking for a less challenging dive. Keep an eye out for southern stingrays resting on the sand, and we often spot nurse sharks tucked under ledges. It's a solid choice for a second dive or if you're getting back into the swing of things.
