Why dive here
With 361+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, eagle rays, nurse sharks and seahorses - 101 offers some of Ocho Rios's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Alright, so you’re in Ocho Rios and looking for something a bit different than the usual reef dive. The 101 wreck is a barge, beached just off Port Esquivel back in '76, and it's a solid, easy dive. We're talking shallow, like a metre deep, making it perfect for snorkelers, freedivers, or even just a relaxed surface interval swim if you’re doing multiple dives nearby. While it’s not some grand galleon, the structure has become a home for all sorts of critters. You'll spot small reef fish darting in and out of the metalwork, maybe a crab tucked away, and often a few colourful sponges clinging on. It’s a nice, simple exploration, ideal for getting comfortable in the water or just enjoying a chill afternoon.
