Cubanacan Nautica, Cuba's leading company in nautical activities, has just minted the new trademark SCUBACUBA for its scuba diving centers, now embracing a number of indispensable requirements to guarantee customers the best quality service money can buy.

“What we're doing now is strengthen a product bound to lure thousands of scuba divers to our country in the midst of this wide world market of the underwater,” Cubanacan Nautica's Marketing Director Ignacio Trujillo Payret said.

Banking on a highly trained, ACUC certified staff, the new trademark offers customers six 25 knots per hour boats recently built and bought in Italy. Each boat seats 26 divers and carries as many as 52 air compressed tanks onboard. Also available, 25 Yamaha brand speedboats for scuba diving buffs, each and every one of them equipped with 120 hp engines, German made Bahur air compressors and diving gear from the Mares and Subaqua brands.

Mr. Trujillo Payret told Excellencies that Cubanacan Nautica is currently running 20 scuba diving centers scattered all across Cuba, with Varadero's Barracuda Center at the top of the list and featuring an ACUC (American Canadian Underwater Certification) trainers' school, plus an international self taught network training divers in different categories.

The product rises, grows and develops in a close knit relationship with ACUC, and Cuba's linkage with that international organization makes the island nation part of the worldwide teaching system for that particular water sport. This condition makes it easier for the new trademark to teach all scuba diving courses now available in the world.

SCUBACUBA will hit the market with new diving techniques and programs, including diving modalities in coral reefs, walls, in sunken ships, in undercurrents and in caves and dunes, let alone offering eye opening shows starred by sharks, morel eels and other fish species, as well as great chances of doing nightly dives.

In addition to its top quality service, SCUBACUBA will add the exceptional natural conditions of the Cuban environment with water temperatures averaging 24 to 28 degrees Celsius all year long, a visibility range 30 to 40 meters below sea surface and the total absence of either aggressive or man hurting marine life, not to mention one of the best preserved coral reefs under the sun.
