I was just trying to get an idea of some places to travel to dive or just vacation at the beach. Anybody have any ideas for this year or come across any deals? THANKS!!!!

We just did a week (Thanksgiving) in Playa del Carmen at the Occidental Grand Xcaret for a mere $850 (airfare not included) for my wife and me. I dove for three days in a package ($235.00 I think) with Playa Scuba and got to dive Cozumel one day, a Cenote (Dos Ojos) the next and finally a shark dive and reef dive in Playa del Carmen on the third day. Was worth it! The Occidental Grand is an all-inclusive about an hour south of Cancun. And of course, any trip to Cozumel is full of great dives...I recommend Aldora divers there; they only take small groups and also offer hi-cap tanks for those of us who are air hogs, as well as Nitrox.

Key Largo Florida is the best in the US for diving. Try the Marriott and talk to the people at "Its a Dive", they are right on the property and are in charge of all the watersports at the hotel.Good people there and Key West is only an hour and a half/ 2 hour drive and there is some nice diving there and great places to eat.
