I've been looking to see if there is a good dive destination closer to the US that I can make a quick trip to in the April or May. I'm not seeing anything other than Cozumel that doesn't require several lay overs and way too many hours to reach. According to airline searches, to reach many dive destinations in the Carib or Central America takes as many hours as getting to SE Asia! And I'm not seeing any good airfares, but that could be because prices are hiked up now. Booking it in a month will probably make more sense.
What am I missing? Certainly US divers aren't spending 36 transit hrs to get to Utila and Roatan, are they? For that amount of travel time you can be diving in Indonesia!
So, I'm open to destination suggestions as long as the travel time to get there isn't more than a day. Looking for reefs with abundant fish life. Pelagics are nice but not necessary. I'm a warm water diver. Will be solo. I don't care about topside attractions.
Thanks in advance!
