You should make your way up to Negril for at least a day.Better snorkling along the cliffsides(in my opinion)
So long,Pete

yup it was a porites and by the next day that red algae was mowed down by something and the colony looked pretty nice. my uncle used to own a villa in runaway bay that had access to a private beach that the outer reef happened to come into the shallow enough to snorkle and it was unbelievable it made the reef in negril look like florida. the elkhorn colonies were 5+ across havent been to it in a few years and i hope it is still in as good condition

porites are a coral that is underated IMO. some of them are really nice, but most people have either never heard of them or wouldnt even bother with them.
anyway, cool pics.

the geometric shapes that the polops come out of make them look so different than most sps that are freeflowing.

never did any diving but the reef off sandals riogrande in ocho rios is part of a marine sanctuary so it may be getting some protection

I went to Negril in May of this year. I got some pics that I need to upload. We went snorkling and took a ton of pics. I couldn't talk my wife into scuba because we saw a sea snake on the glass bottom boat tour.

Don't stay at the village point in Negril. It wasn't as nice as Sandles. Spend the extra and stay @ Sandles.

me and some friends went to jamica via a cruise. we went to ocho rios, and saw some waterfalls and stuff. it was before i got into the hobby so i didn't even think about diving back then, anywho.... we couldn't go anywhere without being hounded by the locals. 'huh, whats in that pipe your selling sir'.
