Dive trip suggestions

[sharkbait69]

The wife and i have a trip scheduled for sept. 8-15 in Key largo. Doesn't look like thats going to pan out. Looking for suggestions on a dive trip some were in the caibbean during the month of november. Our LDS has a trip planned for Bonaire during Thanksgiving week at the Plaza resort, i read a couple of reveiws where people were unhappy with the lodging but were pleased with the diving. I prefer staying at an all Inclusive resort , i found one in the Turks and Caicos that was cheaper than the bonaire trip. Any other suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

if you're gonna wait until November anyway, I say stick with the Keys. We just spent a week there and loved it. Hall's on Marathon is a great Dive OP. Ask for Nick. As for all inclusive, they don't have any.
I have only been to Cabo San Lucas outside of the states. They have all inclusives. It was beautiful!!

Go to the resort page, they have all inclusive options.

Another option to look into is Breezes Curacao. My family has stayed there twice and were happy with the accomodations. It is an all-inclusive (food, liquor and entertainment). One free shore dive per day is included. The is an on-site dive shop at Breezes Curacao that is run by Ocean Encounters.

Curacao is outside of the hurricane belt (as is Bonaire).

We talked to some people who had stayed at Beaches, Sandals and Breezes Curacao. They indicated that Breezes was a step below Beaches and Sandals but so was the price.

The diving in Curacao was very good. A dive operation called "The Dive Bus" is located next door to Breezes Curacao and they do a very good job with shore diving excursions
