Want to daydream for a bit (and in the process, help me choose my 40th birthday dive destination)?
List your fantasy ten week, ten stop scuba trip around the world. Only two rules
- You must always be moving east from your point of departure.
- This is not a Top 10 scuba destinations list, so lets please hold back on the negative comments. Its SUPPOSED to be a very subjective and fun way to learn about some new places.
So to kick things off, heres my trip. My lovely wife is with me on the trip, but since its my list she has no say. On her trip, Ill tag along very happily and quietly.
Choiahoys dream trip departing from New York City -
1 - Bonaire It is just a tiny bit east of NYC, so its fair game. Weve been there twice in two years and love everything about that island.
2 - Malta Its on the list mainly because I just couldnt justify passing over the entire continent of Europe. And Im a sucker for ancient ruins. But I could see this stop getting bumped.
3 - Red Sea Considering Sharm El Sheikh or maybe Dahab. Open to suggestions.
4 - Maldives has been a long time dream.
5 - Indonesia maybe Bali? Or a liveaboard? We havent done a liveaboard before and this might be a good place for our first.
6 Phillipines considering Cebu Island or perhaps a liveaboard?
7 Palau the pictures I see are jaw dropping. No way this one gets bumped.
8 - Hawaii I have to visit my mom on this trip or shed kick my ass. And we love every one of the islands, above and below water. It was a trip to Hawaii that made us decide to become divers.
9 - Galapagos see number 4
10 - Mexico Im kind of cheating by lumping Cozumel and the Riviera Maya into one, but you possibly could do both in a week. We fell in love with diving the cenotes the last time we were there.
Maybe Malta gets bumped for Chuuk, the Great Barrier Reef, or Cocos Islands. Or Thailand or Fiji. Truly too many places.
Looking forward to reading your lists.
