Officially called the Republic of Cuba, this country is considered the largest island in the Caribbean. With the exact translation being unclear, the name Cuba roughly means “where fertile land is abundant” in Taíno, an ancestral language predominantly used by the Hispaniolan inhabitants of the Caribbean. Centrally located between the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Cuba’s economy is heavily dependant on the production of sugar, coffee, and tobacco.
Situated in the heart of the Caribbean, Cuba has some beautiful diving opportunities.

![I am a science nerd through and through. I cannot get enough of the microscopic identification of itty bitty creatures unseen to the naked eye. [#ad] In the vast sea of literature available in this day and age, All About Fish and Fellows emerges as a quick science-related read, offering refreshing tales from the ocean while touching on the complexities of marine science. As someone with a background in marine biology, I found myself delightfully submerged in the depths of this small but mighty book, where every page revealed new insights and sparked the gears of my intellect. #divebuddies4life #scubabook #oceanlitteracy #scubadiving #underwaterstories](https://divebuddies4life.com/app/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
