Just got back from the Jardines Aggressor a week ago. AMAZING trip! Every single part was a great experience. Havana is not what I was expecting. Instead of a city stuck in the 50's, it is a city that has been deteriorating since the 50's. It must have been a spectacular city in the 30's and 40's. The accommodations there by OFY are really great as are the guide led tours of the city. The Jardines Aggressor is a beautiful boat; the nicest live aboard I have been on. We had a master room so we had plenty of space, a normal sized bathroom (full shower), and picture windows. The crew was extremely accommodating and the food was awesome. Nothing was left out. But...the diving! We had 16 people on our trip; our experiences covered almost all diving areas in the world. Everyone agreed that it was absolutely the best ever. The reefs are gorgeous and healthy. The fish are friendly (especially the big groupers) and abundant. Reef sharks were constant companions, and we saw some Silkys. The water temp was 86- 87 on every dive. Viz wasn't as much as we would have liked; usually around 60 ft. They said it had to do with the Summer rain on the island. They said Winter is the best time to make the trip.
The number of divers allowed into Jardines de la Reina is now 2000/year. I expect that the pure beauty and pristine nature won't last for long.
Sorry for the redundant reply. I thought I was on a different thread.
