Ocho Rios

Ocho Rios is a coastal town on Jamaica’s north coast and a popular gateway for Caribbean diving along the Montego Bay to Kingston corridor. While the town itself is more known for beaches and shoreline access, nearby offshore sites and reef areas along the Jamaican north coast are typically reached by day trips from local dive operators. With a couple of dive centers in the wider area, divers can arrange introductory or refresher dives, gear rental, and boat departures to nearby reefs or walls along the Jamaica coastline. If you’re after freshwater diving, options are limited in the immediate area and would require travel to inland quarries or other regions in Jamaica.
