Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / January 2006Isla de La Juventud - Cuba. Infor needed
Guys, We'll be going on late February to the Isla de la Juventud in Cuba. Any hints, tips, things to do, sites do dive, etc? Thanks for any info!

Trip report here ==> http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/Trips/IsleOfYouth.htm Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Hi, Dan! read your report, thanks! I have a few more questions to you. Is it easy to buy cigars at the El Colony or nearby? Does it have air conditioning? How is it compared to the major chains? About the diving: I love photosub pics. Once the dives are guided, is there time to take pics and catch up with the group? About the flight from Havana to Gerona. My diving equipment alone weights 20 kilos. Should I leave it home and rent there? What did you do? What's the water temp? Is a diving suit required?

What did you do? What's the water :temp? Is a diving suit required? Cigars? Don't know, didn't try. There really isn't really that much near the El Colony though. But I'm pretty sure you'll be able to buy some at Havana airport. El Colony was comfortable. It either had a/c or a ceiling fan. I never felt overly hot. But, then again, we were out diving all day. I move slow in the water to start with, and I was taking photos on this trip. I don't see why you would have any problems. Of course, a lot is up to the dive guide and how fast he swims. We brought our dive gear. The only luggage issue I remember is that they wanted Patti to check in her carry on because they thought it was too big. But I don't have 20 kg of dive gear either. You should ask your travel agent about this. Water was ~80 F, just like the rest of the Caribbean. Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.
