Santiago de Cuba - Sigua International Dive Center
Description of Dive Zone:
This dive area is characterized by high hillocks separated by narrow pockets covered with beautiful invertebrate fossils forming caves and tunnels sheltering fish, crustaceans and mollusks. All this in a narrow marine platform that deepens to depths of 35 meters to the 1000 meter vertical dropoff. In various points sunken ships from Admiral Cervera's fleet can be discovered, sunken during the Spanish-Cuban-American war at the end of the 19th century and perfectly conserved after more than 100 years.
