The Queen's Gardens, are located 60 Miles off the southern coast of Cuba: this archipelago comprises a chain of 250 virgin coral and mangrove islands extending along 75 miles of turquoise waters.
Besides sharks, at some locations you will encounter giant, goliath and nassau groupers. Many of them grow very large, and several that we encountered were 100-150 lbs. They are also curious about the divers and some will even “kiss” your dome port. One of them even tried to chew my friend's compact camera hanging from his wrist.
The Caribbean is one of the most popular scuba diving areas for American travelers, with easy access to attractive locations in the Cayman Islands, Belize, the Mexican coast and Honduras, among many others. There is a large concentration of famous dive sites with a variety of diving styles and marine life, including encounters with large marine creatures, world-known wrecks and cave/cavern diving. Naturally, there are many interesting dives for underwater photographers.
We often refer to the marine environment by just talking about its inhabitants, the fish; and we talk about human presence only to criticize it as a killer phenomenon. But it is not always so. Sometimes, man is perfectly adapted to and respectful of the marine ecosystem. An example of this is Noel López, dive master at Jardines de la Reina, a real diving institution on the island.
