“SCUBA DIVING IN SANTIAGO DE CUBA” Tour

Diving in the depths of the beautiful coasts of Santiago de Cuba, to enjoy the beauties and mysteries of our waters of the Caribbean Sea that treasure centuries of history.

Independently of the particular attractions of the diving zones where the Diving Centers in Santiago de Cuba operate, they have in common the formation of large coral hummocks that communicate with each other through tunnels and channels, unequaled walls and attractive tunnels where large fish, crustaceans and mollusks take refuge. Tunnels and channels that are upholstered by large gorgonians and sponges. In these funds abound sunken ships dating from the historic naval battle between the armored fleets of Spain and the United States in 1898, which make these wrecks in a special reminder of the underwater world heritage and a living memory of those days. All the dive sites are located on a narrow marine platform, very close to the dive centers.

The service includes diving equipment, air tank, belt with weights, the assistance of an internationally certified instructor guide, who will do a briefing of dive to be made, and the use of the boat that leads from the dive center to dive sites.
