Here is my problem. My brother is currently overseas for the Army, and is planning on getting scuba certified when he gets back. I am also in the Army and will be stationed at Aberdeen, MD for a military school. I will only be there for five months, but I have no idea where I'll be after that. Getting to my question now. My brother is planning on getting his AOW by the time I'm ready to leave MD, and we would like to go to a place that has excelent diving, is somewhat out of the way but not primitive, and be able to enjoy the topside when we are not diving. Normally, this wouldn't be too hard to find to please my brother and myself. However, my wife will be coming along and she is NOT scuba certified and has no interest in scuba diving whatsoever (medical condition could prevent her from diving too). She does not want to be stuck wandering the streets of St. Somewhere alone while my brother and I are diving - she wants an "all inclusive" resort somewhere. I don't really want to go anywhere that a large number of cruise ships go, to avoide the "cookie cutter" dives that cruise ship divers get. My wife has made it clear she does not want to go on a live-aboard where she will be bored, and she doesn't want to share a bathroom with anyone. I'm getting frustrated and was about to tell her she didn't have to go along, but I know that wouldn't be a smart move on my part. Does anyone have any suggestions that could possibly meet all those requirements?
