Hi all
I am quite sure it has been asked before and I have read some of the previous posts but wanted to get some fresh opinions.
I am looking to take a vacation around late July, possibly August. I am a San Diego diver and have about 50 relatively cold water dives under my belt in the So Cal area. (Kelp, etc.). Have AOW cert, done the PPB, and feel fairly comfortable in the water.
Looking to experience some tropical diving, likely in the Caribbean. My wife is a non-Diver and loves beaches and snorkeling. I would like to have about a 10 day vacation and would like to try and keep it below $6,000 for the both of us if possible (including airfare).
My wife and I like some interesting things to do (other than diving and beaches) but don't need "Las Vegas" style vacation.
I really want to do 2 ~ 3 dives a day. I like reefs and critters, a wreck or two would be cool but not the focus. i basically want to do some tropical coral/reef diving and see what I am missing. I usually prefer boat dives and will not be bringing a buddy.
I keep hearing good things about Roatan (Sand Flies a problem??) and of course the Caymans (which one?). What would folks recommend? Is there other places I am not considering??
Thanks !
