The diving here is top notch, well established dive centres offer good boats, highly educated and professional staff, quality equipment and safety doesn’t need to be questioned. We pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, and the rest is about the diving itself. Diving in Cuba is governed by the ACUC (CMAS) accreditations, although Varadero also has BSAC and SSI qualified Instructors and guides too – you will be in good hands!

​

Diving here is done in the mornings, with 2 tanks available each day. Leaving your hotel after breakfast, you will be back for a late lunch, meaning you won’t abandon any non-divers in your party, and get the best opportunity to relax or take in the local culture as well as get some great diving in too!

​

There are over 50 dive sites of the immediate coast of Varadero, and they don’t disappoint. From shallow reefs and loads of shallow wrecks, to deeper more challenging site such as the wreck of the Sleterea (a 150m tanker) and the former Russian Destroyer, the P383, there are plenty of sites to choose from.

 

The P383 wreck is exceptional. 97 metres long, sitting upright and intact at a maximum depth of 24m, this is one of the most popular dives in Varadero. With little penetration options other than the bridge, the real draw to this wreck is the equipment on board.
