My sister-in-law and nephew got (half) skunked and couldn't finish their OW checkouts on our December trip to Cozumel due to 3 days of port closure and backed-up demand. Now they need to do the final 2 dives (and hopefully some "real" diving.)
They are considering doing it in March when my nephew is on spring break and have asked me for advise.
We traveled to the Keys in March of 2018 and were blown out (other than seeing an under-water sand-storm in the Pennekamp lagoon for 5 minutes while trying (yea, really that bad - 6" viz) to do a weight-check - no diving. From what I have read subsequently, that is not unusual. I don't want to set them up for another disappointment ... And keys have gotten pricey too.
Thoughts on areas that are significantly more likely to be dive-able in March, with access to a PADI-op, and that won't break the bank?
