Negril Land & Sea August 2005 SCUBA PICS

[Scuba Steve]

Just wanted to share a few picture of our trip to Negril

Day One

Leave Toronto @ 10:30 am
Great flight with Air Canada

Arrive in Montego, long wait in customs to get through. This was a last miniute trip, so we did not have the time to arrange with Richard to pick us up at the airport.

We head outside to find transportation to Negril. Low & behold while enjoying a strip & waiting for a buddy, who walks in my field of vision "Richard". So off we go to Point Village Negril, stopping in Lucea for some supplies.

4:00pm we hit the water with our snorkel gear.

We swim to the far side of Booby Key.

Here is some of the sites

Flying Fish on Bottom


Flying Fish Moving


School of Squids


Sea Turtle


Big Sting Ray

Thanks Laurel,

My buddy called me Friday afternoon & said we were leaving in the morning!

Not alot to pack as the scuba gear never gets un packed & as for wearables, they all fit in a carry-on bag.

Day 2
We hop in the van & off we go for some fishing with our bud Lloyd on the Black river

We were able to catch only a machete fish that we quickly got out of the boat.

Here is a shot of the river



I was really surprised to see my X-wife waiting for me on the banks of the river.

Here are a few good shots of her!

Just waking up


Her better side

Day 3
Went into the hi-low in the morning then, hung around the salt water pools at Point Village, in & out of the water. We spent the evening at 3Dives. We even had enough liquid courage to jumping off the cliffs at Xtabi.

Day 4
The gang wanted to beach it again, so I snorkeled over to Grand Lido Negril & met up with the dive boat captain. For a small fee I was off on a two tank dive with the dive master. What a blast, as I was the only diver on the boat other that the dive master. I got my deep water specialty with a dive to 140 ft. Never been that deep before & will not do it again as it was quite a short dive. The second dive was excellent as we had the dive boat captain join us. We met-up with a pair of Dolphins at depth of 90ft. Wow they were neat!

Here were some of the sights

A cave @ 85ft below the surface


A Nassau Grouper

Re: Negril Land & Sea August 2005

Steve, just amazing. I've only seen dolphins once and that was when I fell off the cliff at Rock House and met one face to face under water. Sacred me so bad I had to take a nap under the intoxication of several straight vodka on the rocks. Still, in retrospect....they are beautiful creatures and seems to be smiling at me. Heck, mine dolphin was laughing at my crazy self flapping in the water for dear life.
