We're going to Cuba. Come with us!

Avalon II.jpeg
One of the most important reasons to travel through the world is to learn about the history, art, culture and lives of the people whose country we visit. By interacting with local individuals we have the opportunity to share, face-to-face, the values, goals, challenges and opportunities we each hold.

Watch Anderson Cooper's 60 Minutes segment by clocking the following YouTube link: https://youtu.be/bhC1U8hj4Yk


Join Eco Cuba Outings and HydroSports as we exchange thoughts and ideas with the Cuban people. Through a people-to-people program sanctioned by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control and a licensed US travel agency, you have the opportunity to directly interact in the daily activities of the Cuban community.

Our trip will have three options. In option one we will connect with the architecture, history, art, culture, and music of daily life in and around Havana.

Click (or copy and paste) the following link to view the trip flyer. At the bottom of the flyer are three itineraries downloadable from DropBox:

In option two we will learn about the efforts being taken to preserve and protect a marine ecosystem that is unique to the southern coast of Cuba by visiting the Gardens of the Queen. "Jardines de la Reina" was declared a Marine Park in 1996. This intricate network of untouched marine ecosystems has been preserved for future generations. Access to the Gardens of the Queen is limited to no more than 1500 scuba divers per year. You can be one of the few who visit.

Option three combines both our Havana based tour and our liveaboard trip.

Space aboard Avalon II in the Gardens of the Queen is limited to 20 guests. We are able to accommodate more guests during our visit to Havana.



Our trip has three options.

Option one: Explore Cuba - 9/20-9/26/15 (7 days/6 nights)
Option two: The Gardens of the Queen - 9/25-10/3/15 (9 days/8 nights)
Option three: Explore Cuba & the Gardens of the Queen - 9/20-10/3/15 (14 days/13 nights)

Sounds like a great trip, but OUCH! the price! Guess I'll have to keep diving Cozumel for the moment.
