Cuba~ Santiago de Cuba
This was the first place that I visited in the Caribbean. In 1996, with my friends Paul and Henri, we went down and stayed at the Club Amigo Buccanero in Santiago de Cuba. It was a 3 star resort located on the south west part of the Island. The place was great, we enjoyed it very much. The food was good, the rooms were nice, clean and each had a balcony. The only thing was it was located a bit far out of town, and not too much else was going on around the area. We did talk to some local guys who arranged a taxi for us to go to Santiago for the day. There were no scooters available, only bicycles. The beach was small, mostly rocky cliffs for the shoreline.Beautiful scenery though.

Rudolpho and Luis, friends that showed us around. Paul, and I donning the wetsuits, 1st time.
I had to leave this picture large to get the full effect of the effort that was needed to get paul out of the wetsuit. Ha Ha... Dan (on right) our dive instructor, who was living in Cuba at the time is from Montreal.
A picture of us in downtown Santiago de Cuba. A shot of the beach, which was small but nice. Also some people that we partied with from Ottawa.
