Montego Bay Marine Park
The Montego Bay Marine Park is a large area of sea and shore
located adjacent to the city of Montego Bay, proclaimed to protect
some of Jamaica's best coral reefs and marine resources. The park
is open to all, but has been divided into zones where different
activities (for example various watersports and fishing) are
allowed or restricted to conserve the resources. The park's
resource centre is found at Pier One Marina on the waterfront in
downtown Montego Bay, and provides information about park use and
tours, as well as ecological presentations and use of a
comprehensive reference library. Private operators also run
undersea submersible tours of the reefs.

Language
The official language of Jamaica is English but a local
patois is also spoken, a mixture of English, Spanish, and various
African languages.
Money
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is divided into 100 cents. The island
is well supplied with ATMs, banks and bureaux de change. Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday from 9am to 2pm, and Friday
from 9am to 4pm. Cambio exchange offices are found throughout the
country, open later than banks and often offering better exchange
rates. Retain receipts as proof of legal currency exchange.
Exchange bureaux at the airports and hotels also offer better rates
than banks. Major credit cards and travellers cheques are widely
accepted. Both cash and travellers cheques are best taken in US
Dollars.
