Our first live aboard stop is Rancho Luna, where you will have an opportunity for two dives, including a dive site known as the ‘The Labyrinth’ with a captivating coral landscape and a small mysterious shipwreck. We will enjoy lunch on board of Vision III. Excited and tired after the first day, we shall comfortably cruise further for overnight anchorage.
Sitting 30nm off the shore of Cienfuegos Banco Jaqua is famous for two caravels discovered here. The gold on board is displayed in a historical museum in Havana. Sometimes hammer sharks can be met at this diving spot.
Note: Diving at Banco Jaqua depends on the weather. Given it’s geographical location it does not provide any hiding spots, so captain will decide during the trip upon obtaining the current weather forecast.
Cayo Sigua is one of the best dive spots at the Caribbean coast of Cuba. You can find an underwater vertical wall stretching for several kilometers. String rays, turtles, and often times different sharks. We can also dive at a nearby underwater cave (for experienced divers only).
The highlight of the trip is fluorescent night diving.
Cayo Largo features two sets of dive spots: one within the reef barrier, and the other one – outside. Dive spots within the reef barrier are generally shallower, and are suited for beginners. The most interesting dive spots are on the outside, and they are accessible when the weather is calm.
Cayo Largo has a marina, a small bar at the marina, and beach with sand that does not heat up.
Note:
We generally skip Cayo Largo and spend more days at Cayo Sigua, when the group consists of keen divers. Although Cayo Largo is world-renowned, all the dive sites are outside of the reef barrier, and compared to Cayo Sigua they are lagging behind.
This is a perfect spot for beginner to intermediate divers, as those people typically like to mix in shore activities.
