Amazing Diving Trip With Yuri - We had an amazing time diving with Yuri to complete our Open Water course. Because of the weather, Yuri took us to the Bay of Pigs to dive. It was... read more an amazing diving spot with bright, vibrant coral. The views underwater looking over the cliff drop off were breathtaking. Yuri had a camera and sent us photos from the dive afterwards!
The trip ended up falling on my birthday as well, and Yuri treated us to a birthday dinner at a local restaurant. Lobster, crab and chicken - it was our best meal of the trip.
Yuri went above and beyond to make our trip memorable, and we will definitely be diving with him again when we are next in Cuba!

Can’t believe I waited till I was 50yrs old to start scuba diving! - If I could give 100 stars I would as they deserve it! I was thrilled right from the start! I was expecting a bus to pick me up and was... read more waiting outside the lobby and a beautiful 57 Chevy rolled up for me!!! No bus for this gal! The drive was almost 3 hours to the Bay Of Pigs but my goodness what a scenic drive it was! Seeing all the magnificent scenery & wild animals was an adventure of its own! Bay of Pigs is an absolute must!!! That beautiful picturesque calm turquoise water looks like something from a magazine!
Victor Manuel was my instructor and he really takes his job seriously, they all do! A job well done, my safety and my enjoyment were all that mattered to Victor. He’s knowledgeable, patient and encouraging! I am only partially certified as I haven’t completed my 4 open water dives yet as I’m doing the Padi Referral program and my 4 dives are booked to be completed in 2 weeks in Bahamas! Had I not already paid for them,
I definitely would have completed them with Varadero Dive Tour!
Oh ya the prices are Cheap!!! $90usd for a dive that included transport to the dive site from my hotel lobby and back again!
The only downfall was when the day came to an end. I can’t tell ya enough how great it was! I will absolutely book with these guys again & again! Oh ya
they also take pictures during the dive and they sent them all to me!
Pics are beautifully taken from an GoPro and now I have keepsake from my 1st open water dive! I just can’t emphasize it enough if you’re gonna be in Cuba give these guys a call! It’ll be the best part of your vacay! It was certainly the best part of mine! 🤿🐟🐠🐙🐡

Great Scuba Diving at Los Peces in New Year's Eve 2025 - I had a wonderful trip to the Bay of pigs to dive in Los Peces on New Year's Eve 2025..
Conditions were beautiful. It was very sunny and... read more warm. Water temperatures were 27° C
Yuri made the whole day very enjoyable.
We traveled in a van with the equipment.
It was about eight of us with two dive Masters.
Visibility was great and we had some decent 50 minute dives down to about 80 ft.
Would definitely recommend Veradero diving tours.

December 7, 2025I 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,... read more 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 !

I was planning a trip to Varadero, and wanted to Scuba Dive. I have never Scuba before, so I started reading about the requirements. I saw Yuri’s information online and sent... read more him an email asking to help with the process. He was amazing, he responded and gave me the guidance I needed to get started. He made the process extremely simple. He gave me full and clear details of the courses I needed. There were screenshots and pictures of where and how to get things done. He passes my info on to Alejandro, who also gave me guidance. Upon arrival, he was my instructor. He was amazing. He made sure I understood everything and was able to complete it with confidence before moving on. Yuri and his entire team were amazing. The five spots were amazing, and if you enjoy snorkeling you will really enjoy what they have to offer. I highly recommend you reaching out to Yuri when there, or even before arriving to Varadero.

We had such an amazing time!

He honestly felt like an old friend we’d known for years. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish.
