Description:

SCUBA DIVING WITH BULL SHARKS IN SANTA LUCÍA – AN ADRENALINE-FUELED EXPERIENCE: Get ready for one of the most thrilling and unforgettable underwater adventures in Cuba! In the turquoise waters off the northern coast of Camagüey, near Santa Lucía Beach, you’ll find one of the few places in the world where you can dive safely alongside the majestic bull sharks in their natural habitat. This extraordinary dive takes place at the entrance channel of Nuevitas Bay, a site that has become famous among experienced divers for its spectacular bull shark encounters. These impressive predators—powerful, elegant, and perfectly adapted to the marine environment—move gracefully through the water just a few meters away from you, offering an exhilarating, once-in-a-lifetime experience. What makes this adventure truly exceptional is the opportunity to observe professional instructors hand-feeding the sharks during the dive. Under the guidance and supervision of highly trained, internationally certified diving experts, you will be able to witness up close the strength and precision of these fascinating creatures while remaining in a completely controlled and safe environment.

As if that weren’t enough, the dive site also features an intriguing shipwreck, La Mortera, which sank here at the end of the 19th century. The wreck now serves as an artificial reef teeming with marine life — schools of tropical fish, colorful corals, sponges, and crustaceans that have transformed this piece of history into an underwater sanctuary. Santa Lucía’s clear waters, visibility of up to 30 meters (100 feet), and warm tropical temperatures make it a perfect destination for divers seeking both excitement and natural beauty. Whether you’re an experienced diver looking for your next adrenaline rush or simply someone who dreams of swimming among the ocean’s top predators, this excursion will exceed all expectations. All dives are conducted with modern equipment, safety briefings, and professional supervision. The adventure also includes the use of a boat to reach the dive site, full diving gear, and air tanks.
