About this dive site

This dive site, Guasasa, is a serene and secluded natural pool nestled along Cuba's rocky South coast. It offers exceptionally calm and clear waters, making it an ideal spot for leisurely exploration. Divers and snorkelers can easily navigate the small cove, observing its vibrant marine life within a natural, sheltered environment. There is no specific history or navigational challenge, as its simplicity is part of its charm.

The clear waters of Guasasa shelter a variety of small reef fish, including colorful surgeonfish and butterflyfish. Small moray eels can also be spotted amongst the rocks, adding to the site's biodiversity. While specific coral types aren't mentioned, the 'natural pool' description suggests a habitat supporting these fish species.

The best time to visit Guasasa is likely during Cuba's dry season (November to April) for optimal weather and visibility, though its sheltered nature makes it enjoyable year-round. It is particularly well-suited for snorkelers and freedivers due to its shallow depth and calm conditions. Given its remote nature, visitors should come prepared with their own gear and any necessities, as facilities are non-existent. It’s a perfect spot for those seeking solitude and a peaceful underwater experience.
