Scuba diving in Cuba is based on the principle of conserving its underwater ecosystems. Many areas of access to this activity are protected areas with a wide range of facilities: accommodation, ports and water sport bases.
Cuba counts 236 protected areas, which cover 22 percent-around 10,328 square miles of the country's territory. They include the Valley of Viales in Pinar del Rio (a world heritage site by UNESCO) and several other areas that have been awarded the category of World Biosphere Preserves.
From the sea enormous fortresses welcome you. At their feet, you will find cobblestone streets, pillars, balconies, arches and balustrades - building in a riot of styles.
These are only very few reasons why Cuba can be an ideal location for your next holidays. There is a world of choices that you can go for. If you visualize swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its lively cities you have that for granted.
