Westmoreland Parish

Westmoreland Parish on Jamaica’s southwest coast offers Caribbean coastal diving with easy access from Negril and nearby towns. The region features sandy bottoms, seagrass beds, and walls and reef patches close to shore in warm, clear Caribbean waters. Dive centers around the coast run shore and boat dives to nearby reef systems and gentle drop-offs, with marine life typical of Caribbean reefs such as parrotfish, wrasse, angelfish, and occasional pelagics. The area is suitable for recreational divers and for those staying along Negril’s beaches who want a convenient diving option.
