First thanks to all for really good insights and advice. Lots of
things
I had not considered or that were totally new to me!
got dive computers, BCDs instead of horse collars, and lot of other new
new equipment.
Equipment has changed from the black everything and single stage
regulators of my youth. My entire kit then was a single tank, SS reg,
fins, mask, snorkel. Didn't need weights b/c I was 6' and 132#.
Things
to learn there.
I was going to recommend Belize (Ambergris Caye), but its a real small
island so your son is likely to be bored.
Belize looks really interesting. Taking 1-2 days off to go inland to
see the Mayan ruins would break it up. Depending on affordability
at the time, Belize, Roatan, Bonaire are on my scope now.
I'd suggest West Palm Beach.
That is a really interesting idea. Never knew there was diving off
there. The $ saving implications are major and there are
relatives in FL my wife could visit while the boys go diving.
20min is v. reasonable transit time. I know wreck divers who
have 4-6hr transit times, and that is not for me.
you haven't said what time
of year you're going or where you're coming from.
Western North Carolina. Time of year is up to me. Just some
time in that 60th year (2012). Getting to FL by car is easy (given
gas
prices) and air travel to the Caribbean is not hard via Miami
or Houston.
Again thanks for all the advice. I'll be back in 2011 for more.
