    Español/Borracho is a relaxed shallow dive in Varadero, perfect for those new to the sport. Down at 15 metres, you'll likely spot a few snapper and grunt sheltering among the scattered coral heads. It's a gentle introduction to Caribbean diving, with calm conditions most days. We'd suggest it for training dives or an easy afternoon bob around.
