Throne Room

Throne Room ranks 1st on the list of the best dive sites in Jamaica. The entrance to the Throne Room is at a depth of 40 feet (ca. 12 meters), where the reef has a 25-foot long and 8-foot wide split. The maximum depth is 70 feet (ca. 21 meters) and there is an exit to open water at 70 feet (ca. 21 meters). You can spend more than one dive here, or visit any of the over 15 other local dive sites.

The Throne Room in Negril is frequently said to as Jamaica's premier scuba diving location. It is highly ranked due to the richness of marine life and interesting coral structures that can be seen there. Stingrays, black corals, eels, octopus, barracuda, yellow sponges, marine coral, snappers, and occasionally dolphins and nurse sharks may be seen during a dive here. The throne-shaped elephant ear sponge that may be observed here gave this reef its name. Once inside the underwater grotto, which is roughly 60 feet below the surface, many divers are mesmerized by the illumination. The striking contrast between light and dark is simply magnificent.
