Ocho Rios, Jamaica is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Jamaica. This dive site has an average rating of 3.88 out of 5 from 16 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 71-80ft/22-24m. The average visibility is 111-120ft/34-37m.

This site is approximately 2 miles from where the cruise ships dock, toward Dunns River. I is also about 500 yards from shore, so only acessible by boat. Numerous large ’fingers’ of coral run perpendicular to the coast. The depth is about 40-60’, with the ’fingers’ ranging from10-20’ in height off the bottom. At the bottom of the ’fingers’, there are man-sized caves which allows access to the next ’finger’.Also here, is an old 110’ freighter at 80’, in good condition. It sits on its keel, in a N/S heading.

The wall is a nice dive. It will take a long time for the aquatic life to recover.
Hopefully Jamaica will realize the importance of recovering the resource.

I know, it is really sad. The locals I spoke with did seem to be concerned.
