Diving in Cuba
Because of Cuba’s distinct lack of tourism, it has some of the most untouched and charming dive sites in the earth. Because Cuba is at a natural meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, it contains a range of sea life not prevalent in other dive sites. Some famous spots include Jardines de la Reina; which boasts untouched coral and large sharks, and Cayo Largo, which is a popular ray and barracuda hangout spot. Punta Frances, situated along Cuba’s fabled “pirate coast” on the Isla de la Juventud, is another must-do for divers. Advanced divers can plunge into a tunnel at the site, called Cueva Azul, to spot huge tarpon.
