1999 Chapbook
  Cuba

 

While American citizens can visit Cuba, passport warnings advise that it's "not recommended," and American companies cannot legally do business with Cuba because of a U.S. trade embargo. Most trips, therefore, are booked through Canadian or Mexican tour operators. Street signs in Cancun and Playa del Carmen offer four-day trips to Cuba for as little as $300 U.S.... Dive operations are generally well-run, causing resorts on Cayman and Cozumel to shake in their fins at the thought of Cuba opening up to the U.S. dive market....

For a full review of the following Cuban destination, see:

Isla de Juventud - Cuba, Undercurrent- January 1999

International Dive Center/Colony Club, August 1998, no name. Outstanding diving. Isle of Youth is best kept secret in Caribbean diving. Awesome walls with chimneys and horizontal tunnels, unlike anything I have seen in the Caribbean. Vis: 60-80 ft. Water: 80-84 degrees. Dive restrictions: 150 ft. Accompany divemaster in tunnels and chimneys. Despite restrictions, the place is full of U.S. divers. Boats are large and comfortable and the staff could not be more knowledgeable or nicer. I will definitely go back and to hell with Helms and Burton.
