Skydive and scubadive Cuba

I have never skydived, Tim. But I would love to do so in Cuba. I just need a few co-conspirators to push me on that. A great Spanish company runs a skydiving program out of Varadero, the gorgeous tourist resort 100-150 kms northeast of Havana. I kind of consider Varadero to be Cuba's Cancun without Americans. It's really beautiful.

I have, however, gone scubadiving many times in my life. I have wanted to do so in Cuba, but I have never had any co-conspirators for that activity either.

Some of the finest scubadiving in the western hemisphere is off the southwest coast of Cuba: Playa Maria la Gorda. The drive down there is incredible. First you drive 150-200 kms south of Havana to Pinar del Rio where the valleys are extraordinary. The town itself is SO cool. It's centered in the tobacco-growing region where farmers have befriended me. Also, the neatest cigar-rolling plant is located there. Guided tours are available. Then you go 100 kms south to the beach.

I can't tell you how beautiful the locations are for skydiving and scubadiving in Cuba.

Anyone interested in the August Cuba proposition should buy a copy of Lonely Planet Cuba. It is far and away the best book on Cuba. Other guides, such as Fodor's, are really, really mainstream.
