Question for Utila divers

[thumbsplitter]

Assuming cost is no object and for just a week or two use in a non-resistant area, would anyone disagree that Malarone is the best anti-malarial from a divers viewpoint?

I've read that Chloroquine is the drug recommended for Bay island divers.

Can I safely assume the CDC will recommend the cheapest agent that is effective in a given area without regard to side-effects?
