SUMMARY:New England Dive Center (Wallingford\, Connecticut) - Legal Travel to Cuba for U.S. Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, the “Ocean Doctor\,” speaks at the New England Dive Center about Ocean Doctor’s legal travel program for U.S. citizens and residents to Cuba’s spectacular Gardens of the Queen National Park\, the largest fully-protected marine protected area in the Caribbean\, featured on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper. \nThe cover story of Scuba Diving Magazine feature’s Ocean Doctor’s unique educational travel programs to Cuba and the spectacular Gardens of the Queen. We’re also proud to say that Scuba Diving Magazine readers voted Gardens of the Queen “Best Marine Park\,” and with good reason. It’s the Caribbean’s largest fully-protected marine park and its health and wildlife are unmatched in the region. \nThis unique educational journey examines the relationship of Cuban citizens with their natural environment\, including burgeoning socioeconomic and cultural issues brought about by Cuba’s growing ecotourism industry. The exchange also represents an opportunity to explore with our Cuban colleagues important environmental issues that impact the marine waters that both nations share. Visitors will meet with Cuban scientists\, resource managers\, ecotourism professionals and community members. \nSix days of this 11-day/10-night trip will be spent aboard a floating hotel or live-aboard dive vessel in the heart of Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen National Park\, where much of the story lies underwater. U.S. visitors will accompany Cuban specialists and be able to scuba dive in one of the healthiest marine ecosystems remaining in the Caribbean. Visitors will spend four nights at a 5-star hotel in Havana\, visiting a variety of Cuba institutions and meeting with a range of Cuban professionals and community members.  \nAbout the Gardens of the Queen \nGardens of the Queen was named by Christopher Columbus to honor the Queen of Spain and the area remains as spectacularly beautiful and wild as when Columbus experienced it centuries ago. Today\, it is among the healthiest marine ecosystems in the region. \nThe Gardens harbor abundant and healthy fish and shark population\, stunning mangrove islands and shallow bays that teem with juvenile species\, rare crocodiles\, flamingos and other birds\, iguanas and the jutia\, a native rodent. \nFor more information\, visit www.oceandoctor.org/gardens. \n  \n
