About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Mandeville is a guided underwater activity based in Jamaica's Manchester Parish, offering access to the island's south coast reefs and coral gardens. Participants travel from the inland town to nearby shore and boat sites, where certified instructors lead sessions for all skill levels. The clear Caribbean waters provide visibility of 15-30 metres, with encounters including tropical fish, sea fans, and occasional turtles.

What to expect

Sessions last 2-3 hours including a 40-60 minute dive or 30-45 minute snorkel, with all gear (mask, fins, regulator, BCD) provided.
Boat trips depart from Alligator Pond or Treasure Beach, reaching sites like the Black River reef and Pelican Cay within 20-30 minutes.
Divers see spur-and-groove coral formations, barrel sponges, and schools of grunt and snapper; snorkelers stay in shallow 3-5 metre lagoons.
PADI-certified instructors accompany every group, with a maximum ratio of 4 divers or 8 snorkelers per guide.
Suitable for beginners and certified divers; a refresher briefing covers hand signals, buoyancy control, and reef etiquette before entry.
Underwater photography is allowed, and a dive master can point out moray eels, lobsters, and seahorses in crevices.
