My wife and I are once a year divers with not lots of diving experience (me: about 30 dives). I'm an older guy who loves being down, but my body doesn't always agree with some of my decisions. Our best diving experiences have been in Grand Cayman, and worst in Belize, Ambergris Caye due to rough seas and few fish.
We have also been to Curacao shore diving but the coral looked half dead plus its hard for us to get to. Cozumel had currents that I didn't care for.
There are problems getting to many locations due to where we are starting from. We have to fly from home to as many as three more stops to get to some places I'd like to try (like Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica, possibly Roatan).
So, we are down to going back to GC or maybe trying Provo which is easy for us to get to.
We need boat rides to be fairly short, maybe half hour max. not rough seas, with maybe two foot swells max, very little to no current and prefer not to do wall diving because my wife gets scared when there is no bottom under her.
So, I could dive in the YMCA pool, but the coral and wildlife would be limited.
Is Provo a place that would make sense for us given our limitations?
