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.

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

Cheers, Suzie Nichols

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

True, and there are some of us who even though we have these stated
morals still end up buying things that are made in China...
Unfortunately, I'm guilty with respect to this since I don't always
check to see where someone is made prior to my purchasing it...
Supplementing Cuba monetarily is considerably easier for me to avoid
though...

Castro is apparently very sick.  And his brother is no spring chicken.

"Comes the revolution".

If "everybody" in Miami holds to their word, the town will really
shrink in size.

Nobody expects his brother will be any better than he has been.

We live in hope.

That's carrying hope a bit too far.

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.

If looking for locations, in the north east coast of cuba (between
puerto vita and manati) are some interesting coral, fish and islands.
Full of life, not over fished like the bahamas.   And yeah, withholding
money from the island capitalists and then hoping somehow people will
drop communism when there aren't any alternatives makes sense.
Beautiful, safe country.
