Baie des cochons Diving - Playa Giron Larga, Cuba

Bahía de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) is a beginner-friendly dive on Cuba's southern coast, famous for its historical significance and exceptional shore diving. The bay's limestone coastline features natural entry points where divers step off the rocky shore directly onto vibrant coral walls. The reef drops from the surface along a gentle wall covered with pristine hard and soft corals, sea fans, and massive sponges. Tropical fish are abundant including parrotfish, angelfish, and schools of blue tangs. The calm, sheltered bay waters and easy shore access make this one of Cuba's most accessible dive locations, where world-class reef diving meets one of the 20th century's most famous historical sites.
