  I went diving here for three days in November 2025 and had a great time. Thanks to Yuri’s great pre-planning and coordination and the diving center’s attention to safety, punctuality, good equipment and reliability, as well as the care, kindness and professionalism of the diving instructors Alejandro and Jorguito, the 5 dives were an unforgettable, magical experience. On the first day we went to Coral Beach for 2 dives. What a beautiful underwater world with colorful fish, lobsters and extraordinary corals that I had never seen anywhere before. We dove through coral banks and spectacular rock formations. So varied ! On the second day, our 2-hour drive took us to the Bay of Pigs on the south side of Cuba. Although there were also 2 dives from the shore, the dive sites were completely different than the day before. The first dive led along a coral-rich cliff and the second to a small shipwreck. Beautiful! The third day surprised me with a cave dive into the “Infierno” cenote. What an experience! Getting started in the middle of a meadow was something fun and special. You can’t describe it, you have to experience it yourself. Cuba captured my heart with its culture, lovely people and beautiful diving spots! Yuri, Alejandro and Jorguito play a big part in this. If I could, I would dive with them 1000 more times. Since that’s unfortunately not possible, all I can do is send a big thank you across the continents and hope that everyone will always be well and that we’ll see each other again at some point in the ocean !

  Equipa fantástica!
  Comprei um pacote de 4 mergulhos em dois dias
  O primeiro no mar do Caribe em Punta Perdiz e o segundo dia em Playa Coral.
  Ambientes diferentes mas igualmente paradisíacos, os corais estão muito bem preservados e são de uma beleza estonteante.
  Ambos os instrutores, o Carlos e o George, foram muito atenciosas, divertidos e super preocupados com o nosso bem estar.
  Senti muita segurança durante o mergulho, estavam sempre muito atentos a nós e em como nós nos sentíamos.
  Apenas tenha a agradecer por esta experiência maravilhosa.
  RECOMENDO A 100%

  I loved it! I was staying in Havana with a group of other students. We were able to do the diving/snorkeling at Playa Coral. I went diving with a guide and the rest of the group did snorkeling in the same area. It was a fantastic experience and I was able to see a lot of wildlife. Perfect for my first ocean dive too!

  Hi. I’d like to scuba dive. Me and wife. We snorkel but have never dived. If we take course do we get to dive? How long is course. Is it recognised in Canada.

  We visited Varadero diving tour a week back during our holiday in Cuba. I have been personally working in diving industry for a couple of years, so I always have certain expectations what I expect from the companies who I am diving with. Yuri and Varadero diving tour is professional diving company and it suits perfectly for a holiday makers who are looking for a hassle free day in Caribbean sea. The company is really flexible and Yuri itself is a great professional with a great attitude! So once you visit Cuba and depending if you are beginner or advanced diver I can highly recommend to take part of Varadero diving tours excursions. They will make sure you have nice and relaxed day! Yuri is also amazing photographer, so if you want to get some high quality pictures, just let him know so you can make a deal with him for reasonable price.

  So as a conclusion our day was very well organized and everything from them pick up until drop off was hassle free. The diving itself was a lot better what I expected. Visibility is amazing, reef is in a good condition and the marine life is not too bad either. I been diving more than 500 times and working in the industry for few years I really enjoyed the reef!

  So once you get your ass to Cuba make sure you will dive with this company!

  The diving day with Yuri and his friends was perfect – great organisation with transportation and good equipment from beginning to end. The diving skills of the dive masters were safety, althought I didn`t have very much diving experience before. We had a lot of fun, I would recommend the Varadero Diving Tour Team to all of my friends.

  Thanks to Yuri and his team for the great day in Cuba.

  We had a great day trip to the bay of pigs with our amazing instructor, Yuri. The transportation was hassle free and not much time was wasted inbetween. Their equipment was good, which was a concern we had before going. The dive sites were good and the dive masters were great to dive with!

  This was a great trip, good valve and good fun from well trained professionals.

  Thanks again Yuri.
