Why dive here
With 361+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, eagle rays, nurse sharks and seahorses - Golden eye offers some of Ocho Rios's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
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.
