Here's the scoop. It looks like I'll have to cancel my honeymoon cruise because the money is due at the same time I need to pay for the wedding stuff. I don't have the money to spare. We are looking at either doing key largo or maui. What's the diving like? Is another hawai'ian island better? October/November is our desired timeframe.
Comments please, but don't suggest other sites, unless they are US. That's our limit for free airfare.

In Oct/Nov I would go to Maui or Kona Hawaii. Water will still be warm, 78-80 degrees most likely. Diving is easy. There is more to do there topside than in Key Largo, too.
Kaui is cold in December. Maui has more to do. Ohau has even more to do but it's more of a city than a relaxing vacation spot. Kona is suppost to be the best diving, don't really know, have not been there yet.
Florida after Christmas = massave numbers of snowbirds (i.e. East Coast winter migration). We really enjoyed New Symerna Beach one year for our late aniversary during the Christmas week. It was very quite, Key Largo might be similar.

Florida water starts getting cold around the end of October, well it's cold to us. There would be more to do in Maui. Save Key Largo for your 10th anniversary when you'd rather sit around and fish or stare at the sunset.
Ok, I'm feelin' the votes for Hawai'i. Our first date was actually a week spent in Waikiki beach.
I was looking at the diving around Kihei. Is that a good place, or are there better Hawai'ian dive sites? Local hotel rates and dive rental rates will also be considered.
Thanks!

From Michigan, the flights would be quite a bit cheaper to Miami/Key Largo. $200.00 range vs $700.00 range. Also the hotels would be cheaper. I am assuming that you are flying out of Detroit. The Hilton in Key Largo is usually about $99.00 on week days in that time span.
If I had the option and the money, I would pick Hawaii but I like Key Largo also.
