Statia is known for it's diving and I learned to dive from the Golden Rock dive Shop. Glenn the owner is very knowledgeable and Kaylie, our instructor, was a very good teacher and made sure we were comfortable with everything we did. Both of us were very nervous and she took it very slow and never left our sides. What... More

We were there after hurricane Sandy tore through the Caribbean. The conditions were okay (vis was okay and we had some currents). We dove with the owners (Glenn and Michele) - great people - very accomodating and lots of knowledge. We enjoyed getting to know them and simply sitting down and talking to them in the morning. When we dove,... More

This is a small but organized and friendly dive center where the customer comes first. When you ask what time the dives leave and to where, you will be asked what time YOU want to dive and where YOU want to go! They also offer Nitrox--quite a feat given the tricky logistics of getting things to Statia. Michelle responds very... More

I spent a week diving with the Ray,Kayley, and Glen (da owner). I walked every morning from the Old Gin Inn. The morning walk was a nice way to start the day minus the islander's driving like crazies :). We dove mostly on the catamaran and typical did 2 dives sometime 3... Eustatius works on island time so don't plan... More

My husband and I have just returned from our fifth visit to Statia, where we dived with Golden Rock Dive Center again (for the fifth time). We love Statia and we always enjoy the diving there as it is very varied and there is always lots to see. Golden Rock - owner Glen and divemasters Kayley & Ray - are... More

The divemasters/guides, Ray and Kayley were professional, attentive, helpful, and organized. Glen, the owner has lived in Statia for 18 yrs and has several tricks up his sleeve to... More

My wife and I just returned from a dive trip in St. Eustatius (Statia). We dove with Golden Rock Dive Centre from March 12-18. It was a spectacular experience & Golden Rock was a pleasure to dive with. After diving with several operations in Cozumel, Curacao, Nicaragua, and Utila Golden Rock ranks as one of our favorites. All of the... More

My dive club (Underwater Adventure Seekers) booked a holiday weekend with Golden Rock. They immediately made us all feel at home. Although small, they were very professional, flexible, attentive to safety, and fun! We were taken to the best dive sites and enjoyed each dive. Will definitely revisit. Thank you for showing us a good time.

Golden Rock Dive Center is a small, but excellent operation. The dive masters really know their underwater creatures and where to find them. The visibility is excellent, in fact I liked the operation and the diving so much that I returned again in July for another week. The owners are either on the boat with your or manning the dive...

We went on a one tank dive with Golden Rock. My partner and i are fairly new at scuba. Matt was so helpful and patient with us. He put us both at ease. We went to Aquarium which is the name of a reef, and it was just fabulous!!! A truly memorable experience, and a really good dive company.
