    About this ebook

    If you want to travel to the Caribbean, you certainly have no shortage of wonderful destinations from which to choose. One of the most popular places for tourists in the Caribbean, however, is Jamaica. The country of Jamaica is about 150 miles long and 50 miles wide, so it isn't huge, but it is mighty in the world of tourism, and is actually the third largest island in the Caribbean. It is found less than 100 miles south of Cuba and a little over 100 miles from Hispaniola, the island on which Haiti and the Dominican Republic as found. It was formally a possession of Spain, and late of the United Kingdom, but is now its own nation.

    Although Jamaica is small, it has had a large cultural influence on the world. Reggae, ska, dancehall, and ragga are just a few of the many musical genres that originated in Jamaica. Jungle music in the United Kingdom and hip-hop in the United States are also largely accredited to the Jamaican immigrant population. The Rastafari movement also began in Jamaica.

    When you are visiting Jamaica, there are a number of fun activities for you to do. Of course, like most other Caribbean islands, Jamaica is home to a number of beautiful beaches, so it is a real island paradise. While there, you can try diving, parasailing, boating, swimming, snorkeling, jet and water skiing, and surfing. Fishing is also very popular in the Jamaica, and you can see a variety of great planets and animals when you are visiting this island.

The country of Jamaica is about 150 miles long and 50 miles wide, so it isn't huge, but it is mighty in the world of tourism, and is actually the third largest island in the Caribbean.

Jamaica can be your own island paradise when you visit, so the vacation is definitely worth making the travel plans.

      Chapter 2: Diving Into Jamaica

      Diving into the waters off the Jamaican shore may sound very exotic, and can be a lot of fun for both the beginner and the seasoned diver. For anyone who wants to be a little more adventurous than snorkeling there's a world to explore beneath the ocean, but if you don't have diving experience, you need to consider taking a class before you get into the water. In some areas such as Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Negril, the popular diving areas do tend to get booked up in high season so make sure of your place by making your reservation as soon as you can into your vacation (or before if this is at all possible in the area you are going to stay).

      One of the most magical experiences you could take home from your vacation in Jamaica is to have dived to 30 or even up to 150 ft below the ocean's surface. There you will see not only fish, but also both hard and soft corals and sponges in their natural environment. Once thing you mustn't do however is to remove anything. There are some very strict restrictions in place in Jamaica that prevent anyone taking anything to the surface that belongs below the water – in certain areas, your diving guide may even tell you that touching things in the ocean is forbidden either for your safety or the safety of the wildlife.

      Other things you can do when diving in Jamaica (depending on the time of year and part of the island you’re visiting) is to dive with turtles, swim with schools of exotically colored fish, or even see nursing sharks. A word of caution on the sharks however, most sharks in Jamaica won't attack you but if you encounter one, swim slowly away – if you show fear and panic, this could upset them! There are places you can dive without fear of meeting up with sharks if you prefer life to be slightly less unpredictable, locations such as Sandy Hole which is home to sting rays, but no sharks!

      Chapter 3: Air Jamaica Vacations

      Air Jamaica Vacations offer a nice opportunity of turning your dreams of visiting Jamaica into reality with holiday packages to the hottest destinations of Caribbean. During air Jamaica vacations, you will visit most famous destinations like Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.

      Jamaica is the most picturesque beach, as the history, nature and culture smash together in a breathtaking islet and by air, Jamaica vacations would start from the very moment you set your feet on this beautiful land. Tourists can enjoy scuba diving and snorkeling on the beaches of Jamaica and they can rejoice in excellent reggae music and can taste spicy jerk cuisines.

      Some major attractions of Jamaica are Doctor's Cave Beach, Seven Mile Beach, Treasure Beach, The Black River, Somerset Falls and Boston Bay Beach. All these places are worth visiting and are specially known for their exclusive attractions and histories.

      Visit Montego Bay during air Jamaica vacations. It is the second largest city near Jamaica and is famous for Caribbean shopping and the fascinating Rose Hall Great house. This island is always full with tourists and vacationers. The Dune's River Falls is one of the popular attractions there. Tourists can take pleasure in Snorkeling
