Help! I am at my wit's end, and didn't know if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I would like to go somewhere to get my dive master certification, and I have time in September - early November. Ideally, I would like to go somewhere (affordable) where I can practice my Spanish as well....and be somewhat close to home, as I will need to fly to the US once or twice for work during that time. However, it is hurricane or rainy season for many places during that time (I can handle rain, but still want good diving); and I also am a blonde female single traveler. I am rather adventurous and well-traveled, but still want to feel safe.
Most places in Mexico are prone to hurricanes at that time; Roatan has its rainy season; I went to Costa Rica recently and would consider returning but any suggestions where (other than Flamingo) - and Panama could work but I hear mixed reviews. Anyone have any ideas on the above, or other destinations I've overlooked?
I need to be deciding ASAP...thanks for any help you can offer. Otherwise, I'm going to throw a dart at a map and see where I end up!
