Hey All,
It looks like I’m going to get some time off between jobs. I think I’ll have 3-4 weeks off around end of July-mid August. I’d love recommendations for dive locations!
Dive Experience
I’m advanced open water diver with around 100 dives, 30 or so being intense drift dives. I’ve only been diving the last three years.
Prior Dive Trips
Small Hope, Bahamas (9 days)
Raja Ampat, Indonesia (21 days)
Cozumel, Mexico (6 days)
Locations
I’m looking for the best place in the world to dive in August. I love large animals and schools of fish. For example, Raja Ampat was absolutely incredible, so something on that level would be great. I have heard that French Polynesia is an amazing place for clear waters and big fish. Same for Galapagos. I’d like to avoid spots like Bali.
Accommodations
If you could recommend a good liveabroad or resort in the location you recommend, that would be awesome.
I’m NOT interested in places that do shark feeds or the like. I’d prefer to go to a destination that has eco friendly liveabroad and resorts.
Price
Price isn’t the first factor for me. I’d like to pick out the great location and then make a budget afterwards.
Other Factors
Solo female traveler
Fan of drifts/adventurous dives
Worships the sun
Wants to avoid crowds and cities
Interested in staying in one location for the duration of the trip
