Dive-site story
Located along the outer edge of Montego Bay Marine Park, The Point features a sloping spur-and-groove reef system that drops into a plunging wall. Because of its exposed position at the headland, water movement can sweep pelagic life past the coral formations. Divers typically drift along the upper plateau before exploring undercut ledges, deep barrel sponges, and gorgonian fans anchored along the drop-off.

Frequent encounters with schooling pelagics in the blue water
