  • How would you rate the diving there in general? Some of the video and picks make it seem decent, but general comments on other boards tend to rip on the diving in Negril.

  • Viz was good, reefs were nice but overfished. No large animals close to shore. Both dive ops I used were set-up for inexperienced divers. If you want more than a 30 minute dive to 50 - 60 ft., you'll be disappointed. Locals were very pushy, even agressive about wanting things from us, and to sell us stuff. It got old. My GF and I both felt fortunate to have spent a week in Jamaica without something bad happening. But, it's a beautiful island and I'm glad we went. Probably won't go back.

  • I have the same sealife. Did you use it above water also? And any hints on settings I should use when diving? I have the lens but not the external flash. Plus I will be diving with the resort so I'm sure it will be 65ft max. {Beaches Negril}

  • A Sony Xacti SD movie camera was used for the above water shots. I'd suggest the Sea setting, along with 2816 x 2112 size, Fine quality ISO Auto and Vivid color. I'd also try different EV settings. When I'm not using an external flash, -1.3 to - 1.7 works well for me. You'll need to get in close since you won't be using an external flash. And the deeper you go, and the less light you have from the sun, the less color your phots will have. Try shooting "out" , not up or down.

  • Great video. is that the Sealife SL320? If so did you use an external flash? I'm getting one before my Negril trip.

  • Yes, a (Reefmaster Mini) SeaLife SL320 was used for the underwater video clips and photos, along with an external flash and wide-angle lens.

    Thanks for the kind words.
