Hey all,
I have an unexpected gap between jobs this January and am looking to take advantage and do a special scuba trip - so looking to crowdsource some recommendations of where might be best to go
Unfortunately I get quite seasick, normally fine for boat diving as I'll take some meds but not sure I'd survive a live aboard sadly (they do sound amazing), so looking for places that are good for resort diving.
In terms of background, I've been diving sporadically over the past 5ish years but have only clocked up c.30 across Europe, Thailand, and Red Sea. While I'm AOW qualified, would still class myself as fairly novice given that apart from some slightly rougher conditions in the UK the rest have been warm with good viz.
Initially was thinking of Raja Ampat / Palau or French Polynesian islands but have been reading around the forums and they all seem to have currents in common, I'm not adverse to the idea of drift diving but wanted to:
a) Check with a bunch of experienced folk like yourselves that it would be safe to dive there at my level (would be shame to go all that way and get spooked and stuck on the beach)
b) Whether I'm overlooking any other places that would be great in January?
Thanks in advance!
Sammy
