Must see
The Throne Room is a breathtaking dive site located in Negril, Jamaica. Diving starts at the crack in the reef wall, which serves as the entrance to the wide cave. The walls of the cavern are fully covered with descending layers of corals and many types of underwater plants. The main attraction of the cave is a colony of big orange elephant ear sponges that looks like a throne.
