Scuba diving in Kingston

Hi Simmi, I'm from Brazil and I'm staying in Kingston for some days. I think that I could dive here, but I were not able to find a scuba dive operator. Do you have any one to indicate me ? Thanks, Claudio

There was a scuba diving club located in New Kingston. They seemed to have re-located to Negril.

i dont know of any scuba diving operators in kingston. you would have to visit the north coast of the island for those kinds of activities. however, if you are ever in the mood for some nightlife fun while you are in kingston, you can email me @ kerranmonroe@yahoo.com

This is my recommendation also go to Lime Cay just off the cost of Port Royal to get gear you should be able to get equipment from Y knot or they will advise..they can also arrange to get you to the Cay..

The Jamaica Scuba Club is located in New Kingston close to Hilton's back gate, thats your best bet. Im sure will also find someone out at Morgans Harbour, Palisadoes. Which is near to the airport

Answered by Angela Foote , Port Royal, Jamaica

As most persons have told you, there is not much scuba diving activity in Kingston. This is more a North Coast activity. However, you can check with Morgan's Harbour and they will tell you if they provide such an activity. There is a lot of snorkeling at Lime Cay but I have never seen scuba divers there.

Sorry but there is no scubba diving in kingston. You will probably have to go to Negril or Montego Bay to do that. Try Hedonism or Sandals Negril.

yes scuba diving in Kingston is available. the best spot for scuba diving is port royal. scuba diving instructuros are located there and they will be more than willing to teach u scuba diving. after which you can dive to view the portion of port royal that is now underwater caused by the 1692 earthquake which sank 2/3 of port royal.

Scuba diving is not popular in Kingston. You would have to go to the North Coast. Nearest point to Kingston is Ocho Rios. You find a lot of registered divers there.
