Plongée à Isla de la Juventud — Cuba
Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Youth) is Robert Louis Stevenson's reputed inspiration for Treasure Island, and its Punta Francés marine park delivers some of Cuba's finest wall diving. Dramatic vertical drops into deep blue water, swim-throughs festooned with sponges, and very few other divers make it feel like discovering a secret.
