JitterBug, this is what I've heard as well.... it's due to the river, especially when heavy rains are happening.

Jamaican have and do swim in the sea when this occurs (the Caribbean is technically a "sea", not an "ocean"). I have swam it before - the darker layer is only on top of the heavier sea water due to the sea's salt content.
