I am in need of creative suggestions from you all. I am looking for a diving vacation spot to take my newly certified 11 y.o. daughter. She started snorkeling at a remote 30' site off Isla Mujeres at the age of 6; got Jr. Open Water cert. on her first trip after turning 10 (albeit her fourth trip to Anthony's Key Resort in Roatan); has been out on a dive with Stan Waterman . . . Let us simply say she has high standards for aquatic adventures. So, any suggestions for other Carribean or Central America facilities & locations that are (1) in that same general price point as AKR (granted it would be hard to match the $700 p.p. price for AKR's all inclusive package with mass quantities of spectacular diving, but I also don't want to break the bank), (2) relatively accessible air connections, (3) family-oriented, and (4) sites easily embraced by a new diver, and (5) preferably an all inclusive package (11 y.o.'s are not known for being culinarily adventurous). As much as I like the Galindas (and they really are wonderful folks), I would like to introduce my daughter to other locales beside Roatan. Any ideas?
