My wife and I are planning an 6-8 week trip to Southeast Asia later this year when our son is 8-10 months old (taking advantage of our parental leave from work). This will not be specifically a diving trip, but my wife will likely be newly certified and we definitely want to include a few diving destinations in our itinerary.
We're looking for places that hit the sweet spot:
Is there anywhere else we haven't thought of that might tick all the boxes we need?
We're looking for places that hit the sweet spot:
- Good-to-great diving, including at least some beginner-friendly diving for my wife
- Decent diving conditions in November and/or December
- No malaria (the kiddo will be too young for prophylactic meds)
- Enough infrastructure that we could take the baby to an acceptable hospital if he gets sick
- Thailand - Koh Lanta or Ko Phi Phi (sounds like Koh Lanta is better for kids)
- Bali (Tulamben, Candidasa, and Padang Bai areas)
- Gili Islands, Indonesia
