A Scenic Tour of Cuba’s Underwater World
Snorkeling tour Bay of Pigs
One of the most popular dive sites we suggest is the Bay of Pigs. Located an hour and a half from Varadero, most people know the “Bay of Pigs” from the US-backed covert operation that took place here on April 17, 1961. Today, the bay is a friendlier environment featuring ideal diving and snorkeling conditions directly from the coast.
Close by is Cueva de Los Peces (Cave of Fishes), between Playa Girón and Playa Larga. Here you´ll find a cenote – a geological formation created when the roof of an underground river collapses, leaving a natural pool connected to the sea by a system of immersed tunnels.
Snorkeling tour from Varadero
Divers from all over the world flock to Varadero for its two remarkable dive sites, Coral Beach and Saturn’s Cave. The first is located just 15 minutes away from Varadero. It´s an amazing beach with a wide selection of coral and tropical fish. Visibility in the water here is incredible, revealing the second-largest barrier reef on Earth!
A short 10-minute drive from Coral Beach is one of the most spectacular sites in Cuban geography, Saturn’s Cave. It is about 20 meters deep and is full of stalactites and stalagmites.
