A sharp sun rises over Montego Bay and the Atlantic fizzes against the shore; within minutes a guide hands you a mask or guides you onto a jetski water bike and the open sea answers with wind and spray. This short, private outing centers on two straightforward draws: a high-adrenaline jetski ride along the bay and a nearshore snorkeling stop where shallow reefs and reef fish are easy to photograph.
