Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations on where to go in the South Pacific for some easy beginner diving. My husband and I are planning a trip for this year and I’ve always wanted to dive in the South Pacific. It’ll be a bit of a splurge before we have kids kind of trip, but our budget isn’t necessarily gigantic. I also have the struggle of getting very sea sick and being a type 1 diabetic so diving can be a bit tough for me, but I absolutely love it! My husband is not as big of a fan, he does enjoy it, but not as much as I do so it would be nice to go somewhere with options for other things we can do besides diving. We are also fairly inexperienced with around 20 dives each total, including the ones for certification.
I’m hoping to go somewhere with shore diving if possible and my goal is to see healthy coral more than anything else. I love acropora so it’s a big plus if that’s around! I would also be open to other places than the South Pacific if there better sites for shore diving and healthy coral. I spent a week snorkeling in the GBR based on Lizard Island during college (before the bleaching hit hard and the typhoon destroyed that area of the reef) and that was so spectacular, recreating that now that I’m certified for diving would be amazing. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks everyone!!
