Solo Diver course helps to answer the question "what's the most scary thing you've seen while diving". Answer- "other divers".

Southern Coast of P.R. is great. Caymans and Bahamas are terrific too. West Coast of Costa Rica is ok.. Turks & Ciacos are nice.

Bonaire is great but my favorite place is Cozumel because of water conditions, drift diving, Palancar caves, culture. Also, like San Andres, Columbia very much.
Living in N.J. limits my diving which is obviously warm water specific.

Have just been to the Northern Florida Keys (2011). Loved it. Great water conditions, tropical climate and exotic atmosphere. No more going through Customs for me!
