You step from an air-conditioned van into humid Jamaican air where the limestone cliffs press close and the spring water moves with a quiet insistence. At Blue Hole Mineral Spring the pool is a deep blue pocket cut into karst rock; locals and guides call out the best jumps and the water dares you to let go. Later, Rick’s Cafe waits on the west-facing cliffs of Negril, where divers time their flight against a sunset that spills orange across the sea.
