Maria la Gorda Research, 7 Nights / 8 Days

Spend 3 nights in vibrant Havana and enjoy 4 nights diving from your jungle bungalow in the remote retreat of Maria la Gorda.

Drive through lush patches of tobacco plants past Jurassic outcroppings. You’re on the way through Pinar del Rio on your way to pristine diving in Maria la Gorda where international photographers and marine biologists unite. A deep blue abyss descends below a vertical wall of coral, with protruding sponges, timid lobsters and schools of juvenile parrot fish are streaming by.

You’re not in Cozumel. You’re not in the Caymans. You’re not in the Red Sea. You’re in Maria la Gorda, Cuba!
