Widowmaker's Cave

Widowmaker’s Cave in Montego Bay reportedly gets its name from a James Bond novel, not because it is deadly. It could be better called a cavern or a chimney. There is an opening on a reef at 35 feet. It is the most famous site for scuba diving in Montego Bay. Divers have the option of starting this dive from two different areas – from the top, or from the bottom near the 80 ft mark.

Whether you start from the bottom and make your way to the top, or from the top and make your way down, you’ll be able to see the same unique sights along the way. Different challenges are in store depending on the route you take, but there are safety stops along the way. On this dive, you can see things like black corals which cover the walls, various soft corals, parrotfish, barracuda, and more. Beware of things like fire coral, which will irritate your skin and affect your dive in a negative way if it touches your skin. Other than that, the creatures you’re likely to see around the island, at popular dive sites, are generally harmless.
