Opening for booking soon!!!

Jul 10-17, 2027

 

*Included in this amazing package are workshops and interactive talks on "Updates in Diving Medicine" 

 fully accredited through the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society providing 8 category 1 CME credits for Doctors and allied health professionals. Non medical participants will amass a greater understanding of decompression sickness, cold water and tropical water pitfalls, exposure injuries, marine microorganisms, gas expansion injuries, oxygen toxicity, narcosis, venom and stings  Participation for non medical participants is optional but Dr Rose's conversational and engaging format makes this a highly desirable way to spend part of your surface interval after diving. 

 

 

Why:

  • We've teamed up with the renown Gary Rose MD who is offering 8 fully accredited CME credits for Doctors and allied health professionals*.
  • Dr. Rose's education program is fascinating and provides invaluable information on diving medicine for everyone who is a diver. This education is INCLUDED IN THIS TRIP for NO EXTRA CHARGE!
  • Our members always ask us to REPEAT CUBA SINCE GETTING BACK FROM THE LAST TRIP.... 
  • Cuba is changing... so you can be part of this historical time. 
  • And if Covid has taught us anything its that 'time and life is fragile and fleeting'. Seize life and opportunities NOW...they may not come again!

 

Pricing:  Starting at $3425 boat + 796 fees* = $4221 cash price d/o for 3 dives a day (includes a $1000 disc) all meals and snacks, 6 beverages daily, 1 snorkel dive with 'El Nino' the saltwater crocodile  plus fully included Diving Medicine Courses taught by Dr Gary Rose providing 8 category 1 CME credits if a doctor or allied health professional or invaluable diving related information for non medical participants. 

 

*fees include conservation fees, port fees, and fuel surcharge at time of trip opening

 

The OPTIONAL HAVANA ADD ON will be contingent on a number of factors which many are settling out as we speak. We are in close contact with numerous parties involved in Cuba and will roll this out as soon as we can. For budgeting purposes assume $1800 for the add on of approx 4 nights 3 days. The add on will include tours, several unique 'eating ops' and a chance to buy handmade Cuban items including cigars from the locals but not via the govt.  We also plan to distribute OTC medicines, life supplies, school supplies and very very small toys to families in need. Stay tuned as we finalize the details

 

Airfare: Assume approx $450-$700 round trip depending on where you are flying from and to which Cuban city.  NOTE: You will fly in and out of Camaguey if only doing the boat and into Camaguey and out of Havana if doing the optional add on. We strongly recommend you fly with the group in and out of Miami, Fl.  Miami is most accustomed to the paperwork needed, efficiently and easily processes you in and out of Cuba, and you'll be with the group leaders should any questions arise. More in the full trip details and once group flights have been chosen. 

 

Pre-Trip Hotels: We will book anyone who wants a pre-trip hotel stay typically of 1-2 days to ensure you do not miss the boat.  Trip insurance is very hard to get from Cuba so if you miss the boat... you may miss the trip. Arriving 1-2 days prior will help ensure this does not happen. Because we will be supporting the Cuban people we need to carefully choose accommodations that meet our needs, allow for inter-cultural exchange but also meet the legal requirements of the programs allowing us to travel to Cuba. For this reason we will book ALL pre-trip hotels. 

 

Transfers: Transfers from Camaguey are about 1.5hrs away from the boat. Transfers from Havana are a 6 hr. drive from the boat. The airport transfers to the BOAT are NOT included and are separate depending on the city you fly in and out of and how many are joining you.  

 

Other Interesting Stuff:  Besides excellent diving, amazing cultural experiences, a chance to learn about 'all things diving medical' from a wonderful doctor... Cuba has been surreal every time I've gone and life changing. Its hard to describe but it has indelibly marked my soul forever!

 

What:  Save these dates....simply post in this topic to have us add your name to the "I'm Interested List" and we will let you know when this trip is open for booking Or you can send an email to trips@singledivers.com with your screen name, email you used to register on the SD.com site with and that you'd like to be added to the notify list!  PLEASE let us know if you are medical professional or not.

(Note only upgraded members of our club can book our trips so get a head start on that process now!) 

 

NEED HELP?  Email trips@singledivers.com or admin@singledivers.com for assistance.

 

IMPORTANT LEGAL DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ THIS!

 

This is NOT a vacation trip to Cuba. This is special envoy to enable the people of the US to interact one on one to support and help the people of Cuba.  In addition to the CME being offered you will receive marine education, cultural education and humanitarian education BEFORE, DURING , & AFTER the trip. It is IMPERATIVE that you follow the steps outlined and adhere to the parameters set out and that you NEVER REFER TO THIS TRIP AS YOUR CUBA VACATION. "Vacations" in Cuba are NOT allowed under the OFAC Licenses prevailing at this time. What's an OFAC license? Its the legal way we can travel under very precise and defined and narrow parameters legally to help the Cuban People DIRECTLY.  Don't worry...we will help you every step of the way including what records to keep and what to say if approached in the airport about the nature of your trip to Cuba, or if after the trip you are questioned about the details of your experience etc. WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE AND SO WILL MAKE IS EASY AND SIMPLE FOR EVERYONE TO COMPLY. BUT DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS TRIP IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE TRIP.  PURE AND SIMPLE...it is NOT a pure vacation but rather it will be a life changing opportunity to help the Cuban People and forever be touched by the process both above and below!
