I would suggest a San Diego dive adventure.
Do a morning charter to wreck alley, then do a 3 or 4 day Southern Channel Islands live-aboard trip. I did this last year, although the wreck alley boat canceled because of conditions...then we boarded the Horizon for a three day Southern Islands trip...and the diving was fantastic. This was May of 2008.
I want my next live-aboard to be on the Horizon out of San Diego. I have been on the Horizon and the Vision a number of times, and I prefer the Horizon. I also prefer the southern islands over the northern.
Or, you could do a land-based San Diego vacation. I did this two years ago...we did a dive extended weekend. Flew in Friday. Then boarded charters Sat Morning, Sat Afternoon and Sun morning...mostly for wreck alley but we also hit some other sites. We stayed at the Dana Mission Inn; it is walking distance to where the two charters we booked depart from. My wife is a non-diver, so she spent some reading time at the hotel while my buddy and I were on the boats. Then we flew home Monday. I think the Sunday boat was not wreck alley...I think we picked a kelp beds (not as deep) trip since we would be flying the next day.
Then there is the San Diego downtown and nightlife.
