I'm new to diving and I want to take my 14 year old son on a diving holiday next winter. I would be interested in hearing your suggestions on where we could go. We will both be PADI cert. I would also like to include some interesting land based side trips. Are there all inclusive destenations that are teenager friendly? What has been your experience with your teenager?

Take care and thanks for reading this post!

Just a few questions first, we need more info:

1. do you have a budget?
2. is it just the 2 of you? how many dives do you want to do?
3. where are you? where are you flying out from?
4. Caribbean? Pacific?
5. you say next winter - when exactly? you do realize that Xmas-NewYears is the most expensive time of year and most resorts book up way ahead of time, right?
6. how long a trip? 7 days?

The big island of Hawaii.

The manta ray night dive hooked my 14 year old on diving.
 
Just a few questions first, we need more info:

1. do you have a budget?
I was thinking some where around $1,200. per person.

2. is it just the 2 of you? how many dives do you want to do?
There will just be my son and I.

3. where are you? where are you flying out from?
We will be flying out of Toronto, Canada.

4. Caribbean? Pacific?
South Florida, but would perfer anywhere in the Caribbean.

5. you say next winter - when exactly? you do realize that Xmas-NewYears is the most expensive time of year and most resorts book up way ahead of time, right?
I was thinking around 1st or 2nd week in December or later perhaps in March but not during a school break.

6. how long a trip? 7 days?
7 days (all inclusive)

thanks, that helps. I am guessing you mean the $1200pp is without airfare.
Here are a few all-inclusives that I think the 14yr old would enjoy.
Roatan Diving, Roatan Resort - Anthony's Key Resort Honduras | Anthony's Key Resort
This Web site coming soon
Rotan Honduras diving vacation rates and trip quote - Bay Adventures or http://www.caradonna.com/Accommodations/Honduras.aspx(dive travel packages with prices)

not all inclusive, but I think Belize Ambergris Caye has some great options for you with lots of topside activities to choose from.
Belize Resorts and Diving Packages for Divers.
Belize has zip lines, and jungle tours, and Mayan ruins tours, and cave tubing....in addition to the diving. I think any teen would love to go there.

I would recomend San Andres or Old Providence.
AirCanada has direct flight to San Andres Island in the winter months.
