hello on my way to cuba for spear

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
You can shore dive anywhere between 1m and 50 m. There are big Robalo in the rivermouth, and lots of snappers/ grouper off the beach. Just nort of the town there are a couple of finger reefs that had some nice fish.

There is another La Boca in Cuba which is famous for the sharks who enter and exit the estuary on the tides. A friend rents a house there, but the reefs are about 1 mile offshore.
 
Depending on what you are hunting, anything from a 90cm gun to a 120cm would work on the inshore fish. Last time I was there, there was no gear to be found, so bring spare shafts, bands, etc., and consider gifting your gear to the locals when you leave.

Entiendo, es muy lejos para nadar, especialamente solo. Mi amigo Gustavo no tiene miedo para hacer lo, pero yo si. Pienso que Niorges es un buen contacto. El vive alla, y Sabe mucho mas que yo.

Mucha suerte
 
Lots of Hogfish and egg laying season for snappers is end of July I guess u missed it Barracuda are abundant and predatory. Some reef squals but watch for the Bull at the mouth of the rivers. Never fished around Havana but further south yes.
