Three of us from Perryville, MO want to make a tradition out of a September dive trip. (We went to Bonaire last Sep. and loved it) Any of you out there care to suggest destinations for September - the hurricane season seems to be complicating this idea a bit... Many thanks.
hey jim....we are going to barbados in sept....it is out of the hurricane belt and the diving isnt as good as bonaire...but not bad....and there is a lot to do above water...
Assuming you don't want to go over to Southeast Asia or the South Pacific, have you thought about Hawaii (specifically the Big Island or Maui)? A bit harder to get to for you, but no hurricane issues in September. Also, the diving is very different from the Caribbean - no soft coral, so not quite as colorful, but you get lava tubes and caves, Manta Rays, lots of turtles, and Pacific Ocean rather than Atlantic Ocean tropical fish.
Looking for a spot to go to in Sept. myself. But I just got my OW cert last weekend so I would be a newbie.... Doing it in Sept as I'm doing my AOW and Nitrox specialty before I go. If interested in a tag along let me know when and where... Very flexible in dates when I can go...actually anytime =)
It looks like Barbados, at the beginning of October. We did think of Hawaii, but will save that one for a trip when we take the spouses. I really don't think I would survive a conversation that begins.."The guys are going to Hawaii...". I have Diving to thank for this annual trip with 'the guys'. We're all over 40, and it's very cool to spend a week just diving, eating well, and in general harking back to University days. Diving is a fantastic recreational activity...
