I am looking for the best WARM WATER destinations to go diving. My husband and I are new to diving, so I don't really know where to go. I would like some ideas in and out of the US with a lot of colorful corals and fish. Thanks! >I am looking for the best WARM WATER destinations to go diving.

The best warm water destinations are in the Indo-Pacific. Because that's where pretty much everything originated, it has the widest diversity and greatest selection of marine life. The problem is that it's on the other side of the world, and bad things like terrorists and malarial mosquitoes are out to get you. If you're new to diving, start somewhere simpler. Otherwise you'll be spoiled for the more mediocre stuff. The "best" can wait. > If you're new to diving, start somewhere simpler. Otherwise you'll be > spoiled for the more mediocre stuff. The "best" can wait. Agreed. Try South Florida and the Keys. They're easy to get to and provide a lot of good experience for newbies. I've done the Boynton Beach and Fort Lauderdale areas and have really enjoyed the Keys as well. (There are a lot of places in the Keys that are not deep and hence not overly challenging but which provide a good opportunity to polish your skills as well as to see some nice coral and fishies.) Enjoy! - David . Try South Florida and the Keys. They're easy to get to and provide a > lot of good experience for newbies. I agree. The Florida Keys is my favorite area to dive within the US for warm water although during the winter months the temp can be borderline - at least for me. But the combo of the cost and the marine life there (since there are protected marine parks) is hard to beat. Clint > I am looking for the best WARM WATER destinations to go diving.

I'm like a broken record sometimes, but for new divers, I recommend San Pedro, Belize and diving with Amigos del Mar. I've never found a better dive op anywhere that I've been so far. Dive sites 5-15 minutes from shore, great little town, lots of restaurant variety, nice country, English is the main language and the money is easy to figure out, in that it's set $2 Belize to $1 US. > I am looking for the best WARM WATER destinations to go diving.

Try Philippines (if you have time & ca$h): http://www.wannadive.net/spot/Asia/Philippines Or simply Florida keys: http://www.wannadive.net/spot/North_America/USA/Florida/Keys > Try Philippines (if you have time & ca$h): > http://www.wannadive.net/spot/Asia/Philippines Well, getting there might be pricey, but living there isn't, unless you want to stay in one of the fancier resorts (and miss most of the good diving ;-) Coron bay, for example, if you like big wrecks.
