Can't comment on any place other than Cozumel or the Keys. Since my wife and I got certified in 05 we did our first 40ish dives in the Keys and the next 70 in Cozumel. (7 trips and number 8 in March of this year) We keep wanting to try somewhere else but when we look at the numbers we can visit and dive Cozumel for about a third less than any where else. This is flying out of Atlanta. Flying to the Caymans is cheaper but everything else is higher. Diving on Bonaire is not to expensive but the flights are higher.
We do not do AI and really enjoy exploring the city of San Miguel on Cozumel. We have visited probably 35 different eating establishments on Cozumel and Margaritaville is the only one were were disappointed with. Casa Dennis is the only restaurant we normally visit on the "square" and the only time we had any trouble finding a place open was on Christmas morning in 07.
We are looking for a fall trip this year and maybe will finally make it to another location. Looking at Saba, Bonaire, Caymans or maybe a cruise that stops at Grand CAyman, Roatan, Cozumel and Belize to help us decide on our next destination. The cruise is the least expensive option since we can drive to Tampa and vacations to go has some good deals @ <$600 pp and the diving should average no more than $100 pp per location. So if we dive at all ports, should be approx $1000 pp and dive at 4 different locations all of which are rated as very good diving. Decisions, Decisions
