Posted in Diving | Comments Off Diving Cuba Friday, October 12th, 2007 New page on the dive sites and dive operators of Cuba. "The diving was excellent and I saw a proliferation of sealife. There were Eagle rays, Giant Barracuda, large French Angels, big Hog Fish and a multitude of other species....The condition of the reef is brilliant, warm blue green water, great visibility and plenty of proof that the Cubans respect this fantastic natural resource and are doing plenty to take care of it...Absolutely superb diving with 30/40 m vis, lots of big marine life about in large quantities, quality corals."
