Hello everyone

Cheers
Mark

I know you said no South Pacific.............BUT .............

It was truly beyond our wildest dreams !!!!!!
Diving wasnt to bad either

I am going where she wants to go!!

It's just that she doesn't know where that is yet.....


French P and Truk are too far away this time but they are on the list of places for a forthcoming world tour....

Bonaire looking good then, although the BC idea is growing on me.

Anyone been to Belize?

O-Ring - Thanks for the photos.
I'm going to take your advice and not go to Bonaire. You say you have only just got back and it was only average - word of mouth has to be the best advice on places to visit.

Which still leaves us with the $64000 question unanswered.....


....but thanks to all for your suggestions

Still not sure where to go - see discussion in 'General Topics' for the Bonaire debate - but thanks for all replies.

as a "kangaroo roper" as someone suggested above, I have to vote for diving off the western coast of Australia.

Your honeymoon in June would coincide with the Whale Shark migration in Ningaloo Reef, off the Coast of Western Australia.

Here is a decent link to a dive company there but do a search in google and you will find LOADS of info:

Hope this gives you some ideas. Also take into account that your Pound is MUCH stronger than the Aussie dollar so you will get a great deal for your hardearned $$$.

Once again, happy planning and welcome to the Board!

Happy diving!
Cheers

Everybody else you talk to will tell you Bonaire is the bees knees...I think I am the only person in existence (except SG) that didn't think it was all that. The only reason I posted is that I read a couple of your comments in your original post and thought I would mention it. The comments that threw up red flags on the Bonaire idea, in my mind, were the "all reefs, obviously" and "we like wrecks". Bonaire is all reefs...period.. and there is only one decent wreck in recreational limits....those are undisputed facts. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a honeymoon (having never been married and currently single, I have no basis to make a recommendation there really)...Bonaire will be quiet as a mouse with not much nightlife, the diving will be good (if you like reefs and small fish), and the food will be ok. If that's a honeymoon, then you may very well love it.
