The following pictures are high resolution side scan sonar images of large structures a half mile down on the sea floor, made of sand, off the western tip of Cuba. They are made in 2000 by ADC International, Inc., a company directed by Paulina Zelitsky and Paul Weinzweig.
The location of the source of these images is given below in yellow:
Besides the sonar images, also some video footage was made by remote camera, from which the following stills originate:
Rounded, megalithic granite-like rock with unidentified line detail.

Squared off large block of granite-like stone.

Pyramid shape seems "carved out of" massive rectangular stone
that can be seen behind the pyramid glowing in the glare of the ROV's light
(Remote Operated Video). Video image © 2002 by ADC International, Inc.
Another mystery - what is the triangular object that in the video seems
to be resting independently on the large, curved stone?

Black arrow points to a "V-shaped" pattern that loops at the bottom.

Analysis
The discoveries near Cuba are one of the most popular subjects on this website, viewed from the number of search hits. However, from the standpoint of reality they are one of the weakest. The sonar data are interesting from the point of view of having found a site that deserves further inspection. Anything beyond that is pure speculation. What is needed are pictures that are more easy to interpret. The ones that have come together with the sonar data are promising, but they are too few and too unclear to draw specific conclusions.
Another reason to be extra careful is caused by the same fact that there is mainly sonar data: the subject lies at a much greater depth than Yonaguni, Bimini, and the others, making it unreachable to divers. The depth of the finds is the standard way to date the finds, through the relation with known sea levels. The much greater depths of the finds near Cuba means they are from a different, much older, age than the others, when one disregards the effect of rise and fall of plate levels themselves (but these effects usually play on much longer time scales).
