Cuba Voluntourism

Once a name that evoked Cold War anxiety in the hearts of the U.S. citizens, and still a name that musters pride in the souls of Cubans, the Bay of Pigs is now a prime spot for diving and snorkeling. Visitors snorkeling here can climb out of the water, walk across the beach and climb in an antique car to make the trip to Operation Wallacea on the other coast, where they can assist researchers studying coral reefs, sea turtles and manatee populations.
