Personally, I'm looking for 3 other scuba divers to get in on a trip so we can get a free pickup from Ocho Rios to a nearby site.
What are other options? I've done Jamaica in the past, although I was quite young. Dunn's River Falls is alright but not life changing, may be equally fun to just sit around the beach bars.

What's the typical drop-off and pick-up times for our "get off the boat" day? Is it like an all-day thing, or do you just get a few hours? I'll take a trip if we're there for pretty long.

How much is the scuba diving? I might be interested.

Or guides Omar and Chevron were completely committed to our enjoyment and our safety. The water is amazing, cool and refreshing, they keep you running with a kinds of activities like cliff jumping from 5 feet right up to 40 feet!! Bring a water proof camera and the guides will take oodles of pics, these guys are amazing at what they do, we did Dunns river the day before and this was 10 times the activity.

Some friends recommended SNUBA (like scuba but oxygen provided by hoses from a boat up above) but they don't seem to have it in Ocho, only in Montego Bay from what I found on a short search.

I've done scuba before with friends, but don't hold a PADI scuba cert. I was surprised to see no scuba excursions listed at all for Ocho Rios on Royal's site (since they're a good moneymaker!)..... I was hoping there might be something offered that didn't require a cert.

To any of you going to "The Blue Hole", what trip company are you using, or just getting local transportation there?
If you are using a trip company, do you know the time they are picking you from the port?
