We are looking for a diving vacation destination for 2024 December, around Christmas/New Year weeks.
In the last few years, we have taken diving vacations around late December: South Komodo + Bali in 2019, Maldives in 2021, Raja Ampat in 2022 and will dive at Fiji this December. We have enjoyed all these trips and would love to go back, but we are also looking for somewhere new for December 2024.
We are intermediate divers with AOW. We love colorful corals and biodiversity. We prefer liveaboard, but will also consider land based. For our December trip, we prefer warm water somewhere "far away" from United States east coast (while we usually dive at Caribbean/Mexico in November).
Below are the candidates for 2024 Dec:
1) Palau: Black Pearl or Ocean Hunter 3
2) Solomon: Solomon's Master
3) Philippines: Haven't done enough research, but we are not sure if it's worth the long flights or we might as well just go back to Indonesia
Any other destinations we should consider?
If you have experience with the above diving destinations, especially around late December, we would like to hear your advice.
Thanks!
