Dive center

Golden Rock Dive Center

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Golden Rock Dive Center is a small, family run PADI dive center who operate in an unspoiled Marine Reserve.

We believe divers should dive the way they want without the constraints of an over crowded boat of strangers. Golden Rock Dive Center is a small, friendly and flexible dive center with top quality equipment and experienced staff who are focused on safety and fun, without the pretension. We offer a variety of customized dive/hotel packages, and booking with us is a personalized experience where the dive center arranges your requested accommodations. 

At Golden Rock Dive Center, our goal is to provide you with a unique dive holiday on a small and safe Caribbean island free of mass tourism and cruise ships.  We give every guest the most personalized experience possible whether during your dive, setting up after dive experiences, or eating a local fish/lobster BBQ!  Our dive center is located directly on the bay only a few meter walk to the dive boats and a few minute stroll from the 2 hotels on the bay.  Located across from the St. Eustatius National Park (STENAPA) Headquarters, we are visited by dive travelers from all over the world to enjoy our impeccable diving in the Marine Park and Reserve.  We offer flexible dive schedules and site selection to ensure customer satisfaction is guaranteed. 

Statia offers over 30 dives sites, most of which are moored.  The dive sites range over 7 different underwater ecosystems: new wrecks, historical wrecks, coral encrusted lava flows, isolated rock outcroppings, wall dives, muck dives, and boulder slides.  There are dives to please everyone in your dive group and conditions are mild enough year round for all levels of divers to be safe and have fun.

Take the extra time and go the extra mile to have a quiet, safe, secluded, and unique Caribbean holiday away from it all.  Let us take care of you!

What to expect

This course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving. You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.
