Bay of Pigs
Bay of Pigs: shore-diving corridor with reefs, wrecks, and cenotes.
Bay of Pigs is easiest to plan from Playa Girón or Playa Larga, with shore entries, morning dive windows, and a mix of reef, wall, wreck, and cenote sites.
About Bay of Pigs
Bay of Pigs is Cuba’s south-coast diving corridor around Playa Girón and Playa Larga, with shore entries that reach coral reefs, walls, wrecks, and inland cenotes. Most sites are shallow near shore before dropping onto a wall, so the area works for snorkelers and scuba divers who want easy access with more structure farther out. Morning starts are the norm, and the bay is known for clear water, strong coral, and varied reef life; the overhead cave-style sites are best left to trained divers.

Safety Notes
Treat cenotes and cave-style dives as overhead environments and keep wall dives within your comfort and certification limits. The easier shore sites are still worth checking with a local divemaster.
Access Restrictions
Many sites are reached from the road between Playa Girón and Playa Larga, and cenote or cave entries should only be done with the right training and local guidance.
Legal Notes
Follow the site rules and park guidance for protected areas, especially for overhead cenote and cave sites.

Scuba Diving
The area is built for shore diving, with reef, wall, wreck, and inland cave or cenote options that suit a wide range of scuba plans.
