Punta Perdiz, Bahia de Cochinas, Cuba			N 22° 5.9', W 81° 6.4'
Dive Number 35		Buddy Uli	Surface temp 29°C	Starting pressure 3000psi
Depth 70ft	Visibility ~50ft	Time 45m	Water temp 26°C	Ending pressure 900psi
Notes:	This dive was similar to the last one, although we also had a swim-through of a gap in the reef (photo op for the tour operators), and an old wreck to see as well. When one of the divers in our group lagged and tried to get our attention, I swam back to see what he was looking at - an enormous lobster. As I caught up with the rest of our group, I was unable to get their attention myself, and ended up being the only one to catch a glimpse of a solitary barracuda.

Punta Perdiz, Bahia de Cochinas, Cuba			N 22° 5.9', W 81° 6.4'
Dive Number 34		Buddy Uli	Surface temp 29°C	Starting pressure 2800psi
Depth 75ft	Visibility ~50ft	Time 40m	Water temp 26°C	Ending pressure 900psi
Notes:	As I was hoping would happen, windy weather on the norh of the island meant that our diving expiition on my second dive day meant that we had to travel across to the south of Cuba to the famous "Bay of Pigs", which was reputed to have more spectacular diving. I got paired up with a German diver in the "advanced" group and enjoyed my first ever "wall dive" with beautiful coral and planty of tropical fish and lobsters and crabs.

Monkey Reef, Varadero, Cuba			N 23° 10', W 81° 7'
Dive Number 33		Buddy Cal	Surface temp 28°C	Starting pressure 2900psi
Depth 40ft	Visibility ~50ft	Time 50m	Water temp 26°C	Ending pressure 1200psi
Notes:	For our second dive of the day, we descended on a reef off Varadero. The reef was not in great shape, but we managed to see a few interesting fish, and several green moray inside it. I was distressed to see one of the divers prod the tail of he moray until it emerged from its hiding hole. After surfacing, we dined on fresh lobster that was bought from a fisherman in a passing boat on the way out to sea.

Russian Frigate, Varadero, Cuba			N 23° 10', W 81° 7'
Dive Number 32		Buddy Cal	Surface temp 28°C	Starting pressure 3100psi
Depth 90ft	Visibility ~50ft	Time 40m	Water temp 26°C	Ending pressure 500psi
Notes:	The name of the Russian Frigate we dove as our first dive from Varadero is not known to me, but photos at the dive shop suggest that it was purposefully sunk for diving in this location. Missile launchers and anti-aircraft guns visible on the deck made this wreck a little different from the ones I am accustomed to seeing in Kingston.
