I posted this question on the meets/greets forum since I'm new here, but I thought I'd try posting here in the travel section, as well, just in case. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello everyone. I'm new to ScubaBoard and was wondering whether anyone might have any suggestions for me. My husband, sister and I are all certified, but basically vacation-type divers, so we don't have that many dives logged (I'd say about 20 each). My sister and I turn the big 3-0 next January (2009) and wanted to take a scuba vacation to celebrate.
We had originally thought about doing a land-based vacation with diving added into the mix, but now we're seriously considering a live aboard. We've been on a few cruises and love being on the ocean, plus it seems as though liveaboards are much more convenient than diving from a land-based vacation (i.e. having to lug all our stuff on/off the dive boat, sail out to the site, etc.). We don't want to do a "hard core" dive trip, though, so we were considering Cuan Law, which appears to offer other things to do if we don't want to dive five times a day. Does anyone out there have any thoughts/other recommendations? We'd ideally like to head somewhere that's relatively warm in January, but isn't prohibitively expensive to fly to from New York.
Any suggestions, thoughts, comments, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
