Jamaica
Orange Bay

Orange Bay in Hanover Parish, Jamaica sits along the Caribbean Sea on the island’s north coast. It’s a coastal enclave with access to the sea, but it isn’t a major diving hub and there are no well-known local dive sites listed for the area. Nearby dive centers are limited, and while snorkeling and coastal exploration are feasible, the city itself isn’t a primary diving destination. The closest practical diving access would be day trips or short hops to established Jamaican dive sites along the north coast, typically reachable from Kingston or Montego Bay, depending on the itinerary. In addition, the nearby freshwater option at Little Mere provides a local option for training or practice away from saltwater sites, should divers be in the area seeking pools or dry runs.
