Cruise price per person excludes (mandatory, unless customer provides own): Port taxes (US$ 200) to be paid in advance, conservation fee (US$ 100) to be paid in advance. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival.
Optional extras: Scuba equipment rental (US$ 200 full set per trip), torch (US$ 8 per night dive) to be paid in advance, dive computer (US$ 60 per trip) to be paid in advance, nitrox fills for enriched air certified divers US$ 100 per trip, dive insurance, videographer services, private divemaster US$ 1 200 (subject to availability), transfers from selected hotels in Havana to and from the boat (US$ 180) to be paid in advance. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival.
How to get there: If you wish to travel through Havana, you need to be in the city by Friday night. From Jose Marti International Airport, you can take a taxi to your pre-booked accommodation in Havana. The ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes and should cost 20-25 CUC one way. Agree on the price first, most taxis have meters however, they are rarely used. Ensure that you have accommodation reservations for at least one night before and 1 night after your liveaboard cruise (Havana hotels are booked up well in advance. Airbnb is highly recommended). A representative from Cuban Diving Centers will collect you at a very early 06:00-06:30 hrs from the Parque Central Hotel (or another agreed upon location at the time of your booking) for your 5-6 hour bus transfer to Jucaro Port, in Cuba's Ciego de Avila province.
You will board the Avalon II liveaboard at approximately 12:00 hrs for the 3 hour voyage to Jardines de la Reina National Park. On the last day of the trip, you will cruise back to Jucaro Port and then travel via bus to Havana, arriving at approximately 20:30 hrs. The last dive of the trip will be around 14:00 hrs on the second last day of the trip. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving.
If you want to avoid Havana and the 6 hour bus ride, you can fly via Miami on Saturday to Santa Clara or Camaguey. Upon your arrival you will be picked up and taken direct to the port. The journey takes 2.5 hours. On the following Saturday you will be taken back to the airport. If you have a late flight they will organise a 4 hour city tour for you to avoid to wait hours at the airport.
Non-diver rate: US$ 250 off the published price.
Single supplement (if you do not want to share accommodation): This is optional - single travelers may choose to share a cabin or pay a supplement of approx. 65% of the published price.

Whole boat charter rate (per night): Pay for 14 guests and 6 additional guests can join the cruise in a Standard cabin free of charge (total 20 guests).
