@Wookie just confirmed me the boat that I saw parked in Jardines de la Reina mangrove bay, where JA3 moored too, was the old Spree. I was on that boat in June 2007, 15 years ago, when we were in Dry Tortugas. How time flies.

Great writeup Dan! Is it possible to get a boat to dive La Jardin area for a couple days without the big stay on the live aboard? or are they the only ones licensed to take divers there.

Thanks!

I don’t know about that shorter visit. @Wookie do you know if there is a shorter visit to Jardines de la Reina?
 
Dan, thanks again for this report. We're two weeks out from JA3, and I've referred to it a lot over the months. Query, was the customs process (in both Cuba and return to CONUS) uncomplicated?

p.s., to Evcam--I don't think there is any way to do a non-Avalon dive trip, but I'll inquire and report back at the end of the month. (Even if it was possible, it's a full day from Havana each way)

It was easy. Fill out the form provided by them. My assignment there was counting fish and I chose counting Lionfish, which were killed by DM & fed them to the Grey Reef Sharks. The sharks like eating the Lionfish.
