🇯🇲 Jamaica

Jamaica is a Caribbean diving destination centered on the coast, with most trips based around Negril and Montego Bay. The water is saltwater (Caribbean Sea), typically warm and generally comfortable for recreational diving, with conditions that can vary by season and by site exposure. Expect a mix of natural reefs, sandy areas, and gradual drop-offs along the shelf, plus occasional man-made structures depending on the local dive sites. Shore and boat diving are both common, and many centers offer short trips for fun dives and guided sessions for certified divers. Outside the main coastal hubs, access to regularly dived sites can be more limited, so it’s worth checking local calendars and briefing details before planning your itinerary.
