Hey All,
I'm trying to plan a dive trip to somewhere in the Caribbean for me and my girlfriend in December, looking for tips. We live in Singapore and have done a lot of diving around Southeast Asia (Bali, Komodo, Sipadan, Great Barrier Reef). My main interest is nature/wildlife, but we enjoy drift dives, muck dives, wreck dives, you name it.
Considerations:
1. Covid. We're both vaccinated and would take whatever precautions are recommended/required, but I don't want to go somewhere where covid is raging (even if just to not strain the local healthcare system, in the even we get sick or hurt).
2. Travel restrictions. Relatedly, somewhere with fewer travel requirements would be good.
3. Timing. Would be looking to go for 4-5 days, maybe up to a week.
4. Water temp. The warmer the better for my girlfriend.
5. Resort or liveaboard would be best.
6. Looking for events/features of particular interest. Unique spawning event? Big pelagics? Cool wreck? I'm there.
Where would you go? Based on #1/#2, I'm wondering if the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico would make sense.
