Thanks for the tip. I looked through the threads and didn't find much helpful previous info (mainly b/c we have some specific criteria).
I mentioned the infant b/c health support is going to be a concern. My husband is deploying to Iraq in January, so we're trying to get in one last vacation/dive trip before whe goes, despite that our son will only be about 4 1/2 months old at the time. So, with the baby, I know that limits our options.
My father-in-law loves fishing and is not a diver, so fishing would be a huge plus. Also, for the lady non-divers, I was hoping to find something with a beach, some hiking or other outdoor activities. Our first thought was Roatan, but having been there before, I didn't think there was too much for the non-divers. Also, the place we stay at (AKR), I think is on the wrong side of the island for diving that time of the year. I think I also heard somewhere that it can be chilly. So, that got us wondering about water temps in the Caribbean ... will they be chilly too???
Cost will come into play later, but for now, we're mainly concerned with finding a location that offers some nice diving (without being too cold or having too poor of vis). I think we'd like to be able to dive each day, but if it's only one trip a day, that's fine. My husband and I are the only divers on the trip (although we're trying to get his sister and aunt to get certified).
I hadn't seen too much info on Caribbean diving in December, and what I did find, it sounded cold. People were saying they were wearing 5 mils and hoods in some of the posts I read.
