VEGA
Why dive here
With 208+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, oceanic whitetip sharks, orcas and sea turtles - VEGA offers some of Negril's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 27°C.
The Vega wreck in Negril is a proper dive, a carrier vessel sunk back in ‘85. She lies in just 11 metres, making her a solid choice for a longer bottom time, letting you really explore the superstructure. You’ll find schools of snapper and grunt milling around the hull, with the occasional barracuda lurking in the shadows. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen to capture some classic Caribbean wreck shots without fighting current.
