Dive Scene
The trend for diving in Cuba is interesting. No US-registered trademarks are openly permitted to operate here, as such PADI, the diving organisation of choice for many is barred from operating. With the recent death of Fidel Castro this isolation from the rest of the diving world may thaw. Diving usually operates under CMAS system or the ACUC one (A Canadian outfit).
Emergency Info
Hyperbaric Chambers are available in Cuba, there are 10 known chambers in the country.
