As far as forbidden places, our visa was origianlly people to people and was grandfathered in since we had bought our tickets before the new restrictions took place. It was supposedly changed to humanitarian aid, but literally, no one even asked where we had been coming back through customs.
We will likely go back at some point next year to delve a little more into the historical aspects and maybe see more of the island.
Sounds like going forward any U.S. citizens taking trips to Cuba (scuba or otherwise) will have a different set of circumstances than you did (yes, I've heard about people going to another country, heading to Cuba and back, then returning to the U.S. without mentioning their Cuba visit, but not talking about that).
How practical going forward will it be for a U.S. recreational diver to go to Cuba? How will going back for you be different than this trip?
I recall cruises to Cuba being cancelled (IIRC from a cruise forum), so no idea how feasible it will be to travel there for those interested.
