About this site
Nurse Reef lies off Jamaica's north coast in Saint James parish, in the waters near Montego Bay along the Caribbean Sea. It is a shallow reef dive with a maximum depth of about 9.1 metres, making it a beginner-friendly site, and like other reefs along this stretch of coast it is typically reached by a short boat trip from shore.
