Cuba is one of the best places to dive or snorkel in the Caribbean. Cubafortravel gives you 5 reasons why:


1. In Cuba, it is possible to dive or snorkel all year round. The specialized centres operate every day regardless of the season. Though there is a marked difference between summer and winter but the tropical climate makes it enjoyable year-round.


2. Underwater visibility can reach 50 meters between the months of November and May. In summer, it decreases to 15-20 meters, which is still very good to enjoy the underwater world.


3. During the winter season, the southern coast of Cuba remains calm despite the cold fronts coming from the North. This advantage is used by numerous facilities such as those located in Ancon Trinidad, Faro Luna Cienfuegos, Cayo Largo del Sur or the Bay of Pigs area.


4. The proximity of the dive and snorkel sites to the mainland means that the navigation time to reach them is very short. In some cases, the use of boats is not even required, like in the Bay of Pigs or Playa Coral near Varadero.


5. Diving or snorkelling in Cuba is very safe. The clubs that organize the dives accumulate more than 15 years of experience. Multi-lingual Instructors with international certification always accompany the dive expeditions and observe the snorkel excursions.
