Scuba Diving in Port Royal, Kingston, Jamaica

Does anyone have any up to date contact info for someone who could take us diving from the Morgans Harbour marina in Port Royal, Kingston? Thanks.

Have you called or emailed Morgan's Harbour?

A friend of mine is a scuba instructor and avid diver who lives in Kingston. I think he ONCE got to dive at Port Royal...gov't is concerned about preserving what's down there. It may be possible but for some reason I think it may require a special permit or some such.

Do you have his contact details? Yes - I have dived there once before about 10 years ago - there used to be a dive shop at the marina. We didn't need permits to dive a couple of wrecks about 15 mins boat ride away - i think you do need a permit to dive the remains of the old Port Royal in the harbour.

^^ that would be the permit, yes, the Port Royal remains.

He doesn't take others out - he was a resort instructor before his current gig which has nothing to do with diving - but I believe he dives from the Y Knot bar/marina, next door to Morgan's Harbor. You might try them.
