$8k budget. Where would you go?

Sorry, its just I encounter divers abroad who think they're amazing divers (in piss easy conditions, no current, gin clear vis, very bright, no entanglement hazards etc) and act like their area of water is the best in the world, and they are so close minded that they won't try other equally amazing if not better places because of this.

They basically have their head stuck up their ass and can't even contemplate cold water having amazing diving. It's inconceivable that their passion is closed off to one area of diving. I guess it's their loss.

Not necessarily. I was a cold water diver but there's no interest in wrecks in me. In fact, they make me sad to see humans junk on the bottom. Like climbing a mountain and seeing a plane wreck

Is the OP a technical diver or just looking for easy diving somewhere warm?

I am, she's not, (OW student) but she's interested.

Oh I know I'm a ****** diver, but I enjoy cold water diving. The female wants warm for this trip though.
