Cuba
Hi Anderson,
We were in Cuba last June. The trip was really good, clear water, friendly people, and great rum and cigars. One wreck we were on
was in 120' and from the surface you could see the groupers on the deck, pretty clear. We were lucky weather wise, and had a number of almost flat days interspersed with some pretty fair storms. We mostly ate real simple foods, and drank a lot of water, which is fine right out of the tap. I was totally impressed with how long my wife could stay in the water, the heat really helps on that . A typical day would be a morning dive, an early lunch, nap on the beach, and then walk a few miles down the beach against the current and then hop in and drift divd back to where we started. The local divers were pretty impressive, they would swim 2-5 miles off shore to the reefs, hunt all day and then swim home towing their catch, yes there are sharks there. Even if you caught the right currents to get off shore and to come home, it would still be quite the day, and they seemed to do it everyday, or most days. We did not see much of the island, just lots of beach. We may return this spring. The only down side was the Air Transat flight, which felt like a cattle car.
Best wishes,
Doug
