Hi all,
I live in the Middle East and am looking to meet a friend from the UK somewhere in between us for a diving holiday in the first half of July. I've had my PADI Open Water for about a year and have been on 6 dives (though mostly last summer), and he'll be seeking his open water cert.
I've been researching places, but it's hard to sort out fact from travel brochure language. Hoping to find some tips on a place that:
a) won't break the bank
b) has decent nightlife nearby for after diving
c) newbie-friendly but enjoyable dives
I've looked at Greece, Tel Aviv, Turkey--but again, hard to separate fact from fiction.
Thanks in advance all!
