I want to dive in the south pacific in July 2009. Open to suggestion/recommendation;
Price is an issue. Would like to keep the diving/lodging around $3000/person
Here are some places on my "hot list", but please make other suggestions.
Chuuk
Fiji
Palau
PNG
Yap
I hope this is not a once in a lifetime trip, but I am treating in that way as my "dive buddy" is my son and he is normally at sea about 10 months/year.
We are both photographers, so somewhere with good unlimited shore diving would not disappoint us as we can dive the same reef 10 times and always find something new.
So for instance are there such places in Chuuk where we could get boat dives to some of the wrecks, but shore dive the afternoons where we are staying?
Previous experience has been mostly the Carribean and a short trip to Baja last year. So the South Pacific is all new to us.
We are also planning on a few days before and after for topside viewing and hopefully meeting some locals.
