From RodneyKim:
We are thinking some place warm and safe with some other activites other then diving. Also some variety in the diving, but all apropriate for beginers. Budget wise I would say withing 5 hour or so flight time from the US.
Thanks
I’m not sure with connections what would be within 5 hours of SD.
Cozumel is safe, budget freindly and offers plenty topside, to lower the price even more rent a home. That’s what we do and the use Chucko Diving.
Roatan is a little harder to get to and of all the resorts there AKR offers the most topside, check RoatanCharters for specials.
Caymans, safe but pricy. Check Sunset House for specials, inexpensive meals at MyBar onsite or walk into town. Hammerheads has some of the best fish sandwhichs I’ve ever had and a short walk from there toward 7 mile beach brings you to a bar that feeds the Tarpon every night.
Not as warm but easier to connect to would be the WPB/Jupiter area and you could rent rooms from JupiterMermaid. Most of the diving is drift diving so no navigation involved and for variety there is looking for small critters under the Blue Heron Bridge. I like to plan my boat dives around the slack high tide at the bridge so I can do both boat and beach dives some days.
