Rasta Mike swims with the Sea Turtles in Negril Jamaica

Posted by Negril Scuba on May 16, 2009

Rasta Mike, divemaster and one man comedy show for Negril Scuba Center, swims with a sea turtle while scuba diving in Negril Jamaica.

This was towards the end of our 2nd tank dive and just before we were about to surface. On this dive Mikey gets up and close to what appears to be a juvenile Hawksbill Sea Turtle and has a bit of fun with a short chase the shows just how quick a sea turtle can be when a wild looking rasta diver tries to touch it.

Enjoy a diving vacation with Negril Scuba Center

Posted by Negril Scuba on May 16, 2009

I had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful diving vacation with Negril Scuba Center. It was a wonderful day spent diving the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea which are just jam packed with all sorts of wonderful and brilliant sea life.

We took a short boat ride out to the reef which is located very close to the wonderful Negril Beach where the scuba dive shop is situated and within about 10 minutes time we had our scuba gear fitted on and we were in the water. The waters around Negril offer excellent visibility in comparison to some other places I have been diving. Visibility was probably close to 100 feet I would guess. We could see the bottom clearly from the boat and it was over 60 feet.

Here are some photos of my dive with Negril Scuba Center.

Here are a few pics of the underwater sealife we find here in Negril Jamaica. The local waters of Negril are rich in a wide number of sea creatures including crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans as well as other animals such as sea turtles, snake and jellyfish to name just a few.

You never really know what you’ll see while diving in Jamaica but you can rest assured that you will see something. These pics were taken on scuba dives in Negril by guests who enjoyed their dive vacations with Negril Scuba.
