Give us a ballpark on your budget, please And diving preferences - what do you like to see?

Check out Nekton Cruises to Belize.

I would consider Australia, the Bay Islands, Cozumel, Dominica, Fiji, PNG, or Micronesia. Cheap is another matter and specific to your situation but these locations would be high on my first cut list.

since you are in San Diego, it might be cheaper to do the Pacific than the Caribbean, but either way liveaboards are not cheap. Check out the Kona Agressor, it might be the least expensive for you. If you do want the Caribbean, I would check out the Nekton or Blackbeards. Nekton is nicer but Blackbeards is cheaper.

so what is your budget and what do you want to see?

Hawaii would be a good option for you. Round trip tickets can easily be found for $300 from LAX. Inter-island flights are usually $60-$80 round trip. There's great diving on the Big Island, great wrecks on Oahu and there's lots to do topside. If you get a room with a kitchenette, you save a lot of money by cooking yourself.

Mexico is another favorite of mine. Direct flights to Cozumel are a bit more, but the diving is great. Playa del Carmen and Tulum are beautiful and the cenotes are amazing.
