excellent choice. lots to do for non-divers too. Condo rental facing the water is your best and most economical bet.
Food is expensive. everything is shipped from the main land. Bring a small stash of non perishable food in your suitcase----breakfast cereal, coffee, bread, peanut butter & snacks. Try to eat breakfast & lunch in your condo or hotel room. There are lots of great places for dinner.
Since you are a so.cal boy, why not warm dive pacific waters instead of the Caribbean? Reef life much healthier too. Check out Fiji.
Direct, nonstop flights from LAX and less travel time than to caribbean. i'm also from so.cal and i have learned that lesson well. enjoy your vacation, wherever you decide to dive.
