Looking for something besides a wall dive.

Trying to book this far in advance is difficult since most specials don't extend that far.

Please help. We were going to Nevis, but I started doing some research on the diving and found unfavorable reviews.

thanks!

okay, you want luxury but don't want to pay for it? Don't we all!
You don't want all walls but you do want adventure.
I would look into Fiji if you can spend a few $$ more to get from NYC to LAX. There are great deals on: Caradonna Dive Adventures - Dive Travel and Vacations and Island Dreams Travel scuba diving vacations, cozumel scuba diving, dive travel, dive resorts, diving trips and they would fit your bill. See the Fiji Resorts and Diving Packages for Divers.
Beqa Lagoon and Wanavu resorts would be great honeymoon spots for you.

anothere area would be Riviera Maya - Playa del Carmen coast of Mexico. Lots of big fancy resorts, adventure tours to the Mayan Ruins etc. Riviera Maya Resorts and Diving Packages for Divers.

Belize has lots of adventure and diving, but I am not sure if you would consider the resorts there luxury. Check them out on Caribbean Dive Island Vacations at Bay Adventures and also Caradonna's website (given earlier).
