Where to Dive in Cuba?

[KAYAMAN]

Hello Gang,

I will be in Havana and Varadero, Cuba between August 24 - September 2

I was wondering where are the good diving sites in Havana and Varadero? This is gonna be my first international dive and I choice Cuba for that.

What would be the equipment to bring with me? I have completed 7 dives so far and I was thinking to bring my own equipment as in find, mask, snorkel, shoes and may be my 7mm dive suit.

So, I need suggestions where to dive in Havana and Varadero. I need some advice from and any of you people dove in Havana or Varadero before. What are your fav. places? Did you do a boat diving or off the shore?

Also, If anyone will be in Cuba that that time we can dive together!!!!

Cheers and I am looking forward to hearing from you

I was just diving Cayo Coco last week. Can't comment on Havana or Varadero but I will say that your 7mm is going to be way too warm. It was 84F at 90' deep. I know that there are some excursions from Havana/Varadero going to the south side of the island where the best diving is supposed to be.

I was staying in Varadero a few years back in January and the there was no diving on that side of the island due to weather. I did a trip to the Bay of Pigs and dove there. That was cool. Here is a link that may help. You will die in a 7m suit, bathing suit would be more like it in August. CUBA-DIVING, Dive Travel to Cuba, ScubaCuba, Caribbean Diving
