My wife and I were vacationing in Holguin recently and (to make a long story shorter) hooked up with a local school teacher (Roy) and a chef (Roger) who are very good spearos, and took us to a wall shoredive. The place is pretty heavily speared already, but we did see some nice grouper and snapper. The wall starts at about 45feet and there is a crevasse running along the ridge where the fish like to hide. Roy speaks excellent english, Roger?.. none. But under water, it doesn't matter. Roy was saying that "next time" we would go to some underwater pinnacles further offshore, in a boat, which would require going to 20 metres, as the peaks were just shallower than that. Most of the locals are unable to get there, so the spearing is reported to be excellent. If you're in the area, get ahold of Roy. You'll also get an education in local and world politics, economics, and the changes in Cuba under Raoul. Highly recommended! If you have spare 1.5mm suits or a knife, they would be valued far beyond the cost to you. Roy will pick you up at your resort in the 55 Ford pictured. Your resort will call him and he will contact you at your room. You can text him at the number on his card attached too. These are great guys, it's a bit off the grid, and they are just trying to make a better life for their families.
By the way, this is not a commercial. Roy went waaaaay beyond the obligations of any contractual relationships for us. He's a standup guy.
