Where can one go to vacation on A budget
I was thinking it would fun to vacation somewhere we could dive and enjoy the beach but not looking to spend 7k any ideas? Biggest bang for the buck?
|
cozumel.
|
The florida keys, but dont stay in key west it will be twice as expensive.
|
Check out St. Vincent. Various options from inexpensive to expensive.
|
Philippines. The expensive part is the flight; $1K to 1.5K and 24 hours of flight, but the diving is fantastic, inexpensive, cool things to do and the people are great.
Moalboal, Bohol, Mactan, Siquijor; just a few of the places I've been that are fantastic and cheap. |
Mexico - Playa del Carmen or Puerto Morelos.
|
Egypt! The reef is just outiside the hotel.The red sea is spectacular.

Cuba! I just got back a few weeks ago myself. Awesome prices, people, beaches and reefs.
|
has anyone done puerto rico?? heard some grumblings recently about diving there......its close to US.
|
Check the prices to Aruba. Its fairly cheap anymore (I wonder why?) and I believe there are non-stop flights from Chicago. Cozumel is always good as well.

Its pretty inexpensive to fly to San Juan. From there you can take a 20 minute $60 flight to Culebra, or you can drive 40 minutes to Fajardo then take the $4 ferry to the island. Its a gorgeous little island, not touristy (just avoid it during easter and spring break), lots of reef around it, and you can have entire beaches to yourself if you're willing to walk a short bit from the main roads. Rooms and good food are cheap, people are friendly, and you don't need a passport. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...hdriftwood.jpg |
Hormigaquatica,

Im afraid I don't have anything worth posting. Most of my underwater cameras were ruined on my last trip there, and the ones that werent wound up getting messed up by the photo processing place here. I was So aggravated about it.... I'll go back and get more ;)
