Suzie Nichols...
Has anyone had experience of diving on Cayo Levisa? Planning a trip to Cuba
with hopefully a good balance of seeing the place as well as diving.

Grumman-581...
So, you're going to supply monetary support to a communist regime?
Some of us have morals that prevent that sort of behavior...


Will be in Cayo Levisa for 3 days so would like to dive if possible- would
like to pre- book if we can. We will also be staying in the Mirimar area in
Havana for a few days and have heard that diving is also good in that area-
if anyone has details of a good local dive school that would be great

We did two dives there, the worst dives of our Cuba itinerary. Water was
green. Fish were gone. But I bought a T-shirt anyway.

Havana Bay was interesting diving, what I remember of it. It was in big
seas, I was extremely hungover, and nauseous from both. That's all I
remember, other than the fact that the water was clear but not warm enough.

My favorite was the shore diving in the Bay of Pigs, then going across the
street to a rustic restaurant for lobster and Cristals, and doing a gear
rinse dive in the cenote behind the restaurant where our guide pointed out a
shell that had been dropped by the Yanqui capitalist pigs during their
failed invasion of the glorious communist republic. Then he confessed that
it actually landed somewhere else, but they stuck it in the cenote to
impress tourists. We did a great night dive at the same site.


Cheers, Suzie Nichols
