The lady in the diving center was VERY efficient explaining everyhing thoroughly and talking into two phones and me at the same time. Bus drive was on time, everything worked out well, but the eventual experience was quite basic. No water or snack on board, no information about dive sites or flora and fauna, nothing really special to see so... More

I´m a diveinstructor and I´ve worked in Egypt, Thailand, Greece, Cyprus and Denmark. After reading the reviews on tripadvisor I thought "It can´t be that bad." It wasn´t, It was even worse! Where to start... We booked a trip to "Bay of pigs", a whole day with lunch. We got piced up 5 min before estimated time. Good! When we... More

Don't trust the Barracuda Dive Center, it seems the staff work together to cheat customers and little to no regard for client safety! We booked an excursion to The Bay of Pigs at $70 per person and paid $20 each deposit. We boarded the bus and were taken to the Barracuda Dive Center in Varadero. Upon inquiry we were told... More

When ever we are in Varadero we visit the Barracuda.They serve a good grilled langoustine and we simply love to you watch the sun set from there. Very reasonably priced, awesome mojitos and great staff/service. Well worth a trip out of your hotel.

They seem to be doing it got themselves. Very poor and dangerous site entry exits Unsafe equipment, leaking DVs and Stab Jackets. Very little info given on dive & site. No safety briefing Due to "weather" had to go to bay of pigs. 2.5 hrs on bus. Did lunch stop at 5 PM when all we wanted was to get... More

They are only interested in your money - once you have paid they put you onto a packed coach and bus you across the island on a 2,5 hr ride + stops + chaotic organisation . You leave your hotel at around 8.20am and dont get to the dive site until around 12pm. Then 45min dive at around 30m then... More

We did a few dives with Barracuda. We were staying at the Blau Varadero which has a Barracuda shop near the beach but for the fortnight we were there, we never saw anybody at the dive centre. We ended up popping into Varadero centre and to the main dive centre where we booked 2 dives at the Bay of Pigs......AMAZING.... More

Booked an eight dive break at this dive centre in the middle of Varadero. Although the PADI organisation is not here the instructors were a happy, friendly group with I believe the Canadian equivalent of PADI We firstly took a boat out and around 23 of us went out north from Varadero to dive on 2 wrecks which were interesting...
