All the political stuff aside, I hope it works out, I really want to dive Cuba before I die.

In the mid 80’s, our ship went to Cuba to drill for 30 days. Since we weren’t needed for the drills, our team spent roughly 28 days diving with those stationed at the GiTMO Dive Locker. Throughout my short diving career, it was absolutely some of the best diving I have ever done, the visibility was great.
Untold numbers of Conch and Langusta were taken, and the spear fishing was totally awesome
Just about every evening, a low country BBQ was held on the beach.
Upon the return trip, our Master Chief became highly pissed upon entering Port Everglades when he discovered the stench from the hundreds of Conch we salvaged and hung in our Dive Locker storage room
I’ve always wondered if the T-28 Trojan we saw on the ocean floor, presumably from a crash in roughly 80 foot of water, was a relic from the Bay of Pigs invasion
