Hi.
Hubby and I are planning a trip to the Caribbean this summer (June or August) with his two boys (9 and 13). My initial plan was to do a resort dive, but people on here suggested I get certified before I go (I was just going to do a resort course).
Hubby and 13 year old aren't sure if they want to certify, so I'll need a place where I can do dives and the boys can snorkel and maybe do a resort course.
Any suggestions? My husband would like to see any kind of wrecks, so a few that may be observed by snorkel would be great (doesn't the BVI's have one?). We'd also enjoy an island that has plenty of rainforest/jungle life. We'd like to keep the cost around $4,000 total (dives, airfare, hotel....we live in minnesota). Our preference for accomodations is to stay at local, non-chain hotels, and eat where the locals eat.
Oh! Would going in August be doable? Hubby is a little concerned that it would be hurricane season.
Thanks!
