Hotel Maria La Gorda, Guanahacabibes, Cuba
Located in the Guanacahabibes Biosphere Reserve
Located in the Guanacahabibes Biosphere Reserve, in eastern Cuba, is Maria la Gorda (Mary the Fat), where divers can enjoy crystal-clear and warm waters in 39 diving spots.
This Diving Centre is located in the extreme eastern part of Cuba, in the Guanahacabibes Peninsula, in the Cabo Corrientes Natural Reserve. It has its origin in a string of surfaced land, formed by the waves and the pull of the Gulf of Mexico’s marine current. Experts consider that the seabed at Maria la Gorda is among the top ten places in Latin America, due to its abundant marine life and extraordinarily beautiful corals.
This Diving Center has 50 sites of high level diving, some are still not named, all of them are less than 1 hour cruise, some at even 5 minutes away. Generally, the are all much more alike, many are suitable for wall diving, but each one has its particular charm. We suggest to you El Cabezon de Ludo, El Salon de Maria, El Almirante y Yemaya, and the second diving of the day Acuario, El Ancla de Francois and El Jardin de la Gorgonia.
Since the diving site is very near, you can do the first dive in the morning, at about 09:00 get back to the Villa, and then second dive in the afternoon, at about `15:00. As a protection measure, the Diving Center makes sure that divings cannot go deeper then 30 meters (98 feet) and not more than 40 minutes dive. Note: A Divers Certification Card is required.
