Thanksgiving Diving

[batyah]

Looking for any recommendations on good place to go for 4-5 days at Thanksgiving.
We are heading out from Denver & don't want to waste a full day traveling to/from.

Been to Belize, Cozumel & Tortola & hoping for some place new. Thks!

Florida is really not a bad idea... great diving right here in the good ol' US of A!!! Or... how about Fiji? The mantas are having their babies during that time I understand. Let us know where you go and post some pics when you get back will you?

By the way, I grew up in Englewood. Not great diving there , but the mountains are great!

See you around the boards,

Florida would be your most convenient, and Key Largo is great for :newbie:s

And don't be shy about posting. Click Forums above, tour the long list of choices, and jump in anywhere you're qualified. PM me with any questions, and I'll try to find a pretty good answer.

For many years, we would go to Baja for Thanksgiving week. Both La Paz and Cabo San Lucas had many good dive sites accessible by dayboat.

Welcome to the board. I would do the Florida Keys as well. Go to www.keysmobilediving.com. I have used this guy a couple of times and he seems to let me make up my own dive schedule. He just shows up with the boat and tanks.

I would love to go diving over thanksgiving but 1/2 the problem is getting somewhere. Florida is almost out of the question b/c of so many families flying there for the holidays so airfare is horrendous.

I took a look at LaPax and Cabo, which from LA are somewhat easier to get to, but even there the airfares were over $600. Is there any easy way to get to LaPaz?

any other suggestions are more than welcome.
