Hoping you can all help out with a little dilemma.
Hubby and I are hoping to holiday in the Caribbean with close friends in March next year, so that they can look after our little one (once he's born) while we dive and we can return the favour with their daughter while they snorkel / sight see etc.
The problem is trying to find a location that suits all our needs - I'd be grateful for your recommendations based on our criteria below.
We'll be flying from England and with two little ones under 1 so we'd prefer somewhere we can fly direct (and not with KLM who suck so that rules out the Antilles).
We need somewhere with good diving and good snorkelling and preferably with something on the island to see too. We don't particularly want to stay all inclusive as we do like to get out and about.
In that part of the world we've already done Coz, Nassau, Cayman, Roatan and Belize so would like to try somewhere new (though we would love to go back to Cayman we think it may be a little too boring for our non diving friends).
Would Barbados fit the criteria? This is where our friends want to go but we've been spoilt with our diving and the ops we've used to date and aren't sure if the diving in Barbados would be a bit of a let down.
Thanks in advance
