Diving in Varadero Cuba

[Mike L]

A friend and I have just returned from Cuba and did some amazing dives in both Varadero and the Bay of Pigs. If you hate diving with large groups give Varadiving a chance. We had an amazing experience that we will not soon forget. Our guide Yasser Rodriguez was very professional, looking after all of our needs at a very reasonable price. Our boat dives to the Russian patrol boat was conducted with Barracuda dive center in Varadero but also arranged by Yasser. If you plan on diving in your next trip to Cuba? Again give Varadiving a chance, you won't regret it.

We completed 7 dives: 2 at Coral beach Varadero, 2 at Cayo Piedras Del Norte "Russian wreck and shallow dive near the Island", 2 at the Bay of pigs down to 100ft and 50 feet respectively "2 tug boat wrecks and finally the Cenotes. all this for approximately 250 cuc (convertible pesos) less that $300 cdn, by the way this includes the cost of transportation to and back to our hotel. Again a very reasonable price.

Thank you Yasser and Varadiving.

How Varadiving makes a difference with its around Cuba diving circuit. This tour is committed to providing travellers with an authentic and unforgettable small group tour experience in Cuba above and below the water. As an organisation our commitment to Cuba's environment, and the protections of its underwater eco-system is unwavering. For this reason we cap the number of people on the trip, so a group is no larger than 8 people. This enables us to source more authentic accommodation options and local transportation that makes a smaller footprint on the environment. All of our tour guides, dive instructors and dive hosts are both native to Cuba, and passionate about their country. This is of most importance to us, because we believe in showcasing the very best of Cuba and this starts with knowledgable guides who know the country inside out, for better and for worse. It also allows us to provide local employment and engagement in the community. Our organisation is a proud supporter of the Coral Reef Alliance that partners with local reef communities around the world to protect coral reefs. We also expect them to be respectful of their underwater environment when Scuba diving - to look but not touch and to steer well clear of any sea life.
