SEA ROAMER - Negril
The Sea Roamer wreck, a fishing vessel resting upright in just a metre of water off Negril, offers a different kind of dive. It’s a snorkel, really. You’ll spend your time peering down at the hull, a dark shape against the sand, exploring what’s left of the superstructure. We've seen schools of juvenile snapper flitting in and out of the openings, and the occasional moray eel peeking from a dark corner. It’s perfect for a lazy afternoon; easy entry, no current, and a chance to get up close with a piece of Negril’s maritime history without even needing to get your hair wet.
