Thanks for the replies so far. I really appreciate that you guys took the time to share your thoughts. I'll try to address some things.
Fiance vetoed the cruise option.
US or British VirginIslands. Diving is OK for beginners.
Any specific resorts? And I stress, adults-only resorts.
robint - Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe we'll go in December since we wouldn't want to come during hurricane season. I'm not so much looking for a dive resort, but rather a resort with some diving that isn't crappy. I don't plan on diving every day. Maybe 3 - 5 dives total.
diversteve - That place sure looks awesome, and the dive op looks great, but fiance is pretty sticky about the adults only thing. Where did you stay and would you recommend any other places there?
Hemlon - Fiance doesn't want to go to a really common (generic in his mind) place. I don't really have anything against Mexico. I guess we feel like "we could go to Mexico any time, let's go somewhere really special for our honeymoon."
farsidefan1 - The Phillipines is just too far for us this time around. Some day, I dream that my husband will be just as into scuba as me, and we travel the world to all the great dive spots, many of which are there. However, we're looking for a honeymoon appropriate resort, which happens to also have scuba available.
Jimmer - again, we won't stay at a place with kids running around. It's supposed to be a romantic honeymoon.
ColoDale - Thanks for the advice. This kind of info is exactly why I posted here.
I should have specified about budget. The budget I quoted was based on 2 people. However, since my expectations may be in need of adjustment, we could probably pay more and perhaps have a shorter stay. I just can't picture spending more than $1000 a day, including airfare. I had been looking into Sandals in St. Lucia, but was turned off by reports of rude staff, dirty rooms, lack of towels and loungers, and broken down equipement etc. I was also looking at Rendezvous and The Body Holiday, they seem pretty nice. Both have had massive recent renos.
butrflyleslie and doubler - I really wanted to go to Fiji originally, but the flight time and price turned me off. It's so darned far for us. Maybe I'll give it a second chance. How long was the flight from LAX? I don't know if my fiance would like it since there isn't really a beach at that resort.
Hmmm, it is really difficult to pick a place with such strict requirements. :blinking:
