Hi all, forgive me if this topic has already been posted; I did a quick search and came up with nothing, so decided to post it hoping it would be interesting for others also.
I was just wondering to myself, what are the best value dive destinations in the world today? Obviously, this will depend on lots of things amongst which proximity, airfare, actual on-site costs, what your particular diving interests are, etc... But still, I think this could be fuel for a good discussion!
So if you'd like to, please feel free to give your highly ranked dive destinations for value, generally where you are based (so we can get an idea how much airfare cost is; diving Yap must be a great deal if you live there!!!) and a short description why you consider it a great value!
I'll give it a try...
Basically, Roatan (had a quick trip there last october) was an awesome value for me. Being in Canada, the airfare was relatively cheap for a Caribean destination. Also, the diving packages were awesome: 3 dives a day, all inclusive packages for cheaper I've seen anywhere. And the reefs were in good health with tons of marine life! It was simply tons of great diving for cheap! Only down side to it was that I personally like big pelagics, and there were very few to be seen on the south side. But there was plenty of all the rest to compensate!
So that is my value, based on my very limited experience. I'd love to read others oppinions on this!
Cheers!
