AVATAR TWO
Why dive here
With 208+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, oceanic whitetip sharks, orcas and sea turtles - AVATAR TWO offers some of Negril's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Avatar Two isn't some purpose-sunk spectacle. This 12-meter fishing vessel went down the hard way, and you can feel that history when you descend onto her. She sits upright, pretty intact, at 20 meters, and we love how the Caribbean has really started to claim her. You can poke around the wheelhouse, peer into the hold – it’s tight, but definitely explorable for those comfortable with wreck penetration. Her real draw, though, is the resident marine life. Schools of grunts and snapper hang in the shadow of the hull, and we’ve often spotted eagle rays cruising by in the blue, just off the wreck. The deck is carpeted in sponges and small corals, a real magnet for macro life; keep an eye out for cleaner shrimp tucked into crevices. It’s a compelling dive for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of backstory, and the moderate depth means extended bottom time to really soak it all in. If you’re looking for a wreck with a genuine feel, Avatar Two is our pick in Negril.

AVATAR TWO Wreck History
Vessel Type
fishing vessel
Cause
unknown
The final story of the AVATAR TWO is a mystery. Unlike wrecks with a clear history of storms or collisions, this small 12-metre fishing vessel was simply reported overdue and assumed to have been lost at sea. Her final moments and the cause of her sinking remain unknown, adding a poignant element to its exploration.
Located in the warm, inviting waters of Negril, Jamaica, the wreck now rests at a comfortable recreational depth of 20 metres. Its small size makes it a perfect site for a single, thorough dive. The Caribbean climate has encouraged a rapid colonization of corals and sponges, turning the vessel into a vibrant artificial reef. Divers can enjoy circling the wreck, peering into its small openings, and photographing the colourful reef fish and critters that now call this lost vessel home.
