Where to dive the first week of April?

[Barry Goode]

I'd like to know about water temps & visibility this time of year (early April). I've been to most dive locales in The Caribbean.

I'm debating between the BVI's, Tobago, Barbados, or going back to Belize (stayed on Ambergris Cay - are there other good places to stay off shore near the barrier reef? Turneffe Island seems a bit expensive).

Thanks.

It really all depends on what you want to do!

Do you do 2 tank morning dive, then relax or party the rest of day?
Are you going alone, with another diver, or with a non-diver?
Do you want valet type diving or unlimited shore diving?
Do you want to see lots of fish, or lots of wrecks, or drift diving with swim-throughs?

Have you checked out Roatan? You can read up on it in the Central America forum under Bay Islands. It's the same reef systems shared by Belize and Cozumel. The wall diving is great. You can find a variety of accommodations ranging from low end to high end. There are independent dive shops as well as dive resorts. See Roatan Info - Roatan Hotels, Resorts, Diving, Maps, News, Real Estate, Pictures, Weather, Tours & Chat. for more details.
