Dive-site story
Located off Montego Bay, Widowmaker's Cave is a vertical reef chimney that plunges through the coral bedrock. Divers can descend along the outer wall and enter the lower cavern entrance to ascend through the shaft, or run the profile in reverse. Filter-feeding sponges and branching black corals line the dark interior passages before the route opens out onto the sunlit reef drop-off.
