SEA ISLAND
Why dive here
With 208+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, oceanic whitetip sharks, orcas and sea turtles - SEA ISLAND offers some of Negril's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Sea Island, just off Negril, is a good pick for wreck enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate a well-colonised artificial reef. This old supply vessel, sunk in 2006, sits upright at 26 meters, making for a straightforward dive. We usually find schools of jacks circling the superstructure, and the bow ramp, a unique feature for a wreck dive in these parts, now hosts some impressive barrel sponges. Penetration is limited, but there's plenty to explore on the outside, with nurse sharks sometimes resting underneath the hull. It's a solid, enjoyable dive for anyone comfortable with the depth.
