Comments Oceans For Youth Foundation, People to People Program was the arrangement for this trip as Americans cannot freely travel to Cuba.

The whole trip was arranged by a member of the USA dive club and it ran as smooth as silk. No delays, no lost paperwork, transportation in Cuba excellent.

Cuba in itself is a wonderful destination and the diving was no exception. Be prepared for pristine conditions and large fish, lots of sharks that appear to be very curious about humans.
