Port Royal Divers (Morgan's Harbour, tel. 876/382-6767, paul@portroyaldivers.com, www.portroyaldivers.com), led by Paul Shoucair aboard his 8.5-meter boat, will take experienced divers to the reefs off Lime Cay to some recent wrecks (US$50 per person for two dives including tanks and weights; gear is an additional US$30). Paul also does PADI certification courses for multiple persons: US$450 for Open Water certification, US$350 for Advanced, US$500 for Rescue Diver, and US$500 for Divemaster certification. It is illegal for tourists to dive without a Jamaica Tourist Board–licensed diver like Paul. Diving sites around Kingston include the sunken ship Edena, Black Tip, Texas, Winward Edge, and Cayman Trader close to Lime Cay. If you're lucky you may see eagle rays, nurse sharks, and turtles.
