Wow - thank you all so much for all these fantastic suggestions; very much appreciated. They ALL sound wonderful... I will do some research & decide on one of them; at least I have some time to think about it.

There's nothing like expert advice.Bali. It's perfect for what you need. You could dive around the Tulamben area with shore dives or short boat rides all up and down the coast there. I like the sandy beach in front of Scuba Seraya and Vila Markisa since it's easy in and out (no rocks) and the dive sites there are quite wonderful (Seraya Secrets and Noisy Reef). I can dive those sites two hours a day every day. If you want a break from diving, there are temples, garden palaces, and rice paddy terraces you can visit to soothe your soul.
Another place might be Perhentian Island in Malaysia. Lots of beach, easy diving (not exactly world-class but very pleasant).

We used to see a lot of Black-tip Sharks in the Perhentians, even snorkeling off the beach. Are they all soup?
That's good to hear. I have not seen many anywhere else in the region.No, they're not all soup! You can still see black-tips at shallow snorkeling areas.
Near here, we've got them at Phi Phi. But they are so shy that mostly we just get a flashing glimpse as they streak past.That's good to hear. I have not seen many anywhere else in the region.
Search Old Providence or Providencia will get you some information.Somewhere quite simple & 'real' would be ideal - not a plasticky resort type place.
