Where to go for diving Feb./March?

[Liberty01]

Hi!
Looking for some spectacular diving for a 2 -3 week trip somewhere between mid-January and March. Unfortunately, I could not get a 2-week-liveaboard to Sudan so far, thus I am looking for another big fish destination with similar diving conditions, warm water and few other divers. Thought about Maldives, Jardines de la Reina in Cuba...
Any suggestions about great places at that time of the year?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Liberty

Truk Lagoon and then Palau for a week.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am not really into wreck diving, and I am not quite sure whether Palau is worth the high cost and long trip (from Europe).

Cheers,
Liberty

Maldives could be a good choice...
Be ready for some current, Plenty of BIG fish.
A liveaboard will be the best.

Okinawa, Japan schooling hammerheads and humpback whales during that time of year. Great reef dives and the ruins of Yonaguni just for variety.

Thank your for your replies.
Which atolls are best for whale sharks etc. in the Maldives? And any recommendations for a liveaboard?

Cheers,
Liberty

a week liveaboard in Palau is worth every penny.

Los Jardines de la Reina sure looks interesting to me...seems to have everything you described, though I've never been there. Found this thread seeking info from those who have.

Why not Thailand...
