Go to story. ACTIVITIES The Caribbean fishing destination. Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. Over 775 miles long, with a total area of 42827 square miles. Cuba neughbours Florida (Key West - Havana 90 miles), Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.The population numbers in excess of 11 million, of which over 2m. live in Havana. The climate is sub-tropical, with a mean annual temperature of 77F (25C). Humidity averages about 77% between November and May, rising up to 82% outside these periods. However, the climate seems to be rather more stable than in other Caribbean destinations. DIVING IN CUBA Last Paradise Keys (Jardines de la Reina) 50 miles south of the mainland of Cuba and 80 miles north of Cayman Brac is a 150 mile long mangrove and coral island system forming what some people say is the third longest barrier reef in the world. In the middle is a 90 mile long and at times 20 mile wide Natural Park. There is NO COMMERCIAL FISHING in the Park and the number of inhabitants is ZERO. Imagine a marine WILDERNESS with walls covered with brightly hued sponges and corals plunging well below the limits of safe diving to shallow reefs filled with both schooling and solitary fish and wrecks (even some Old Spanish galleons from the l7th century.) The mangroves provide an incredible nursery for the smaller fish which in turn provide the reef with huge schools of baitfish. This has provided a home to a prolific number of LARGE fish. We think more than anywhere else in the Caribbean. Shark rodeos & hand feeding 200-400 LB Jewfish are an everyday experience. Avalon Diving Center is the only operation allowed by law in this entire area and hosts no more than 300 divers a year. Certainly, it is one of the last virgin reefs known to man. HUNTING The hunting seasons start in August for dove and white crowned pigeon. Many of our best hunting areas were sold out last season. If you are serious about going to Cuba.....better reserve right now! Cuba offers a variety of hunting possibilities including duck, dove, quail, pheasant and the white-crowned pigeon. There are also a few places in Cuba that offer big-game hunting..... Cuba...a new and exciting hunting destination. Go to photos & story.
