In February I have my 40th birthday and my wife suggested we head somewhere warm to dive and celebrate on a beach. You only turn 40 once so who am I to argue with that. The problem is we already have a few trips planned.
Were going on a cruise this November to the western caribbean, (Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Grand Cayman). I know were diving Cozumel and Roatan the other two not sure yet.
In April were headed to the grand canyon for spring break with the kids.
In June were taking the kids to Clearwater Florida for a week. It will be a family trip but I think the misses and I can get two days diving in there.
In November my brothers and I are headed to the Bahamas to give Blackbeards liveaboard a try.
With these trips already planned I need suggestions for a birthday location that must meet three criteria;
1. warm air
2. warm water (preferably clear)
3. CHEAP!
Im not rich so Im looking for a poor mans gettaway. Im also new to diving so the location doesn't have to be spectacular to entertain me. I'm still in the "happy to be blowing bubbles" stage and the only salt water diving we have done was in Oahu so Im open to everything.
I looked at Key Largo first but most people are saying it can be fairly cold on the surface with some large waves to stir things up.
Puerto Rico looks promising I found round trip flights for $400 from Salt Lake City.
I welcome any advice, thanks.
