Don't mean to be too harsh on you and please don't take it personally. I was born in Cuba. There are Cubans on the island that will eat rice and plantains for days because they quite frankly have no other choice. They live in Cuba and are unable to spearfish. If caught, they will be fined, sometimes beaten and imprisoned. However, tourist can bring there gear and with "dollars" or foreign currency can buy themselves to spots on the reef. Do you see the problem here? There are other options in the Caribean in places where the goverment doesn't exploit and repress their citizens in the hell hole that is Cuba.
Nevertheless, when you go, I hope you enjoy yourself.
