For folks who have seen it all we would appreciate some feedback:
We've been to: Grand Cayman (they say it's still getting over the H'canes); Cozumel for a week last year before the H'Canes - great vis & diving (too many mosquitoes at night), we want to see something different this year; Belize dives weren't so hot (weather was overcast 3-4' seas);
We know Bonaire is suppose to be great for just diving and we want to go some day, however, we would like a balance of good diving and on shore sites/tours - we'll go to Bonaire some day to just have a week of solid diving.
We really like places with super good vis and calmer waters, prefer seeing fish over corals, (we don't spearfish), we live in Florida - so we'll go to Largo a few times.
We'll probably do a crusie this summer with Cruise lines offering stops in places like: St. Thomas USVI; St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Nassau, Bahamas; St. Johns, Antigua; Castries, St. Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curacao; - we have no idea what these places are like.
Our 2nd trip after/before crusie we would like to arrange a trip for 5 to 7 days somewhere (on land & depending what we can afford) what would be some places that you would reccomend that would balance some good dives with nice sites/facilities? (My wife wants to ck out Puerto Rico but i'm getting very mixed reviews)
Thanks!!!
