Hey there all, new kid here - starting a new topic. Honest, I searched back a few pages to see if this was covered - sorry if I missed it.
Basic question is, when is the best time of year to dive in Caribbean? I'm thinking of booking a week's holiday for me and husband which will include significant element of diving (preferably 2 a day).
A little about ourselves, I'm a baby diver - PADI Advance cert, but only 42 dives, all in warm water. Husband dives here in England (and Scotland, Wales and Ireland) - he's up to Ass't Instructor with BSAC and about 150+ dives, but not a 'been there/done that' thrill seeker.
I've been to St. Lucia, Belize and the FL Keys - looking primarily for good marine life and visibility. (Just spent a week in the Keys and got blown out 4 out of 8 days - I know, bad time of year, I was just tacking on some time since I was in FL for Xmas hols already.) I'm thinking island based (not liveaboard), and primarily boat diving (as opposed to shore).
Anyway, I don't want to spend another trip hearing 'you really shouldn't have come this time of year - it's much better during ____'. So, any advice?
Thanks,
K
