We've been to Cuba twice, Holguin and Cayo Coco and not to eager to go back soon.
Vacations are very cheap for Canadians and I'm sorry to say, most Canadians are cheap and that's why there are so many of us there.
I dove with Blue World (Holgun) and George was very good, however in Cayo Coco the dive master was down right dangerous. Much of the waters are overfished and I wasn't impressed with the abundance of marine life. The people seem very disgruntled and not eager to serve. We made friends with a few Cubans and learned that some drive hours from home leaving their families for a week at a time to work at these resorts for very little pay, no wonder their disgruntled!!
The best diving in Cuba is on the west side of Cuba (caribbean side), where I've read it's world class.
What is worth mention is their Cigars, they can't be beat!!
