Cuba - where to go

[cougar]

I'm Dive Master with halting but passable Spanish. (female and old) I'll be in Cozumel and want to hop over to Cuba for maybe 5 days. Haven't the foggiest where to go. Want good diving and a room with a breeze or something to cool it a bit. Need to keep it on the cheap side. All suggestions appreciated.
Does Cuba have the equivalent of Airbnb? The diving is far more important than the digs.

Something like that is still not quite legal for Americans. But you didn't ask that.

Avoid Veradero if you want to dive. Bay of Pigs is pretty dismal diving as well.

Don't use any credit cards!

A co-worker of mine from Mexico was raving about the diving at Isla de la Jevuntud. I found this link: Dive Cuba Isle of Youth, Isla de la Juventud, Treasure Island, Colony Diving, Cuba-Diving. I'll ask him for more information and then post.

A ScubaBoard Staff Message...

Several posts that formed an argument regarding political issues related to Cuba and its government were removed. The OP asked a travel question, and issues related to travel plans are the topic if this thread. ScubaBoard has a forum designed for those other kinds of debates. It is called the Pub, and it can be found in the non-scuba related section. You have to join it to participate. If you want to debate the political issues related to this or any other country, that is the place to go. You are invited to start a thread on that topic there.

I finally got some information from my co-worker. Check out Ecoscuba :: Buceo en León, Guanajuato. I do not know when you are planning on going, but there is a trip planned for March of 2016. Hope this helps.

This is a nifty map with lots of sites. I grew up near Cayo Santa Maria and can vouch for the diving (I assume it hasn't changed much since 1980).IIS 7.0 Detailed Error - 404.0 - Not Found, don't forget about possible legal entanglements if you are a US citizen

Cayo Santa Maria has the best diving in Cuba.
