Wife got what seems a good deal for flight for 3 of us, and wants to pull the trigger. Every thread seems to spell out traveling out to the far ends, with car rental, groceries, etc. I also see a punch of discussion of Car/Shore diving, but I'm just not sure I want to tackle it at this time.
Is it a bad thing to stay close? We were looking at Lions Dive and Beach Resort and a dive package with Ocean Encounters. Not needing intense nightlife but a little land based culture, restaurants, etc. is part of the appeal.
Am I not knowing something?
There are three of us on this trip, wife, daughter (16) and me. Daughter is a new diver with about a dozen dives between Key Largo and Tobermory so "keep it simple" is my MO. Wife loves puddling shallow reefs looking at the fish and colors.
Wife and I did Bonaire 20 years ago and need to go back, but with everything x3, airfare alone kills it. Loved Key Largo last year, but with the time of the year, KL is "full", and costs even more (we are limited to the school Easter break). Jamaica was.... "interesting"... (hit bad weather)...
Truth of the matter is the cheap direct flight is driving this. Anyone comment on the the diving with this group?
Thanks.
