Hello Everyone,
My wife and I will be taking a delayed honeymoon in October 2015 or thereabout. We are both advanced open water divers with between 150-200 dives each. We have dove extensively in the Caribbean and are looking for advice on a pacific trip. We have approximately 3 weeks of time off to use for the trip. I would love to do a hybrid trip that involves just a few days of the pampered experience at a resort and the rest of the time doing world class diving. While we are both interested in doing the resort experience for a few days we are both used to hostels and the typical cheap backpacker experience you can find in the Caribbean.
So given that background does anyone have any advice? I have searched the forums and I have chosen Micronesia/Guam as a possible destination, and Bora Bora seems to have some amazing honeymoon resorts/activities other than diving that would be interesting. However I realize the distances between these destinations are large. So is Tahiti/BB for a few days, then making our way to somewhere like Bali for a week, then making our way to Micronesia and spending a week realistic? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Of course we are not set on any one plan at this point and I realize that it may be best to concentrate on a given area of the pacific, just not sure which or why.
Edit: Also tahiti/BB or Fiji could be interchangeable?
Thank you so much in advance for the help!
