Scuba Diving...where to go?
Any nestie divers?
Please share your favorite dive locations and where you stayed. I'll post my experiences as well, but want to hear yours first! Thanks!
Edit: We are PADI advanced certified with 75 or so dives...not first timers, lol. Open to any location worldwide at any budget.
Re: Scuba Diving...where to go?
This place is great and you can find lodging almost anywhere nearby. I must admit, night dives scare the dickens out of me so I can't comment on that, but this center is well known in the area and has been there for longer than the 20+ years that we've been going there. The diving and snorkling in the are are fantastic!
L'isle Sur la Sorgue, Provence
Palau
Great Barrier Reef (we stayed at Heron and Lizard Island and LOVED Lizard)
Rangiroa (French Polynesia- stay at Hotel Kia Ora and also dive/visit other islands, like Taha'a and Bora Bora. Have been to a million places there so I can add my two cents in if needed)
Nigaloo Reef off of Perth, Australia
as pp mentioned, Belize
Our wedding on Wilson Island!
My friends have been dive masters all over the world and they rave about Seychelles.
Mozambique was fun because we got to snorkel with the whale sharks on the way to the dive sites. If they spotted a whale shark, they'd just stop and everyone would grab masks and jump in! I also heard wonderful things about the manta feeding station there, but I didn't have an advanced cert. and it's a bit deep.
Ok here goes....Location- Dive Op- Hotel (if I would recommend it). Let me know if you want more info about any of these locations/dive ops/hotels.
Great Barrier Reef- Live aboard with ProDive
Cozumel- Santa Rosa Wall- no idea of the company
Belize: Caye Caulker-Belize Diving Services- Maxhapan Cabanas, Ambergris Caye-Amigos Del Mar- Mayan Princess, and Hamanisi out of Hopkins.
Grand Cayman- Wall to Wall Diving- Comfort Inn
Roatan- Coconut Tree Divers
Would not recommend diving in Cancun or Oahu.
Jells- where did you guys dive/stay in Belize?
I am looking into staying out on an atoll.
I haven't stayed here, but this place is on my list in Belize (not for diving though)
