As per family tradition, my sister will be taking me on a graduation trip in a couple of years, so I am trying to figure out where we should go. The budget, at the moment, is about $2,000. I am not yet certified, but have plans to complete the certification before the trip, so I am looking for a place with plenty of choices for a beginning diver. I also want to go somewhere with a nice variety of dives- since I will have only been a diver for a short time, I want to use the trip to figure out what types of dives I like best. Also, since my sister loves hiking, it would be nice if there was good hiking nearby. Suggestions?
