November recommendations

Any suggestions on where to go for a diving holiday in late nov/dec?
Looking for something on the budget side - either land or liveaboard.
We are both intermediate level divers (dive in Canadian cold water).
Have been to Similian/Surin, Sipidan, Belize. Are there any worthwhile
locations in central/south america? Or would we be better looking at
something in Asia etc. Look forward to your suggestions.

Thanks!

What do you like to see? As far as budget goes, I think Roatan or Utila may
be the answer.

Budget liveaboard? That would be Blackbeards. Pay attention though,
they are budget for a reason.

Any particular reason you did not mention the Caribbean?

By budget I was referring to whole holiday (not necessarily bottom of
the heap dive operations). Looking at spending a month and about $3000
including diving, accomodations and flights. Want to spend 7-10 days
diving and the rest enjoying the place/culture/seeing sights/etc...

$3000 for two or per person?

Unless you can think of a place that has good enough diving for 7-10
days of enjoyment and good enough other stuff for 15-20 days of
enjoyment, the price doesn't really matter.

But of course, just cuz I can't doesn't mean nobody else can.

I can, if they aren't too picky about acco and where to eat.

What do you mean by "pay attention"? I've been considering Blackbeards.
What should I bee looking for?

Thanks,

John

Whether you will be happy with the level of creature comforts they
provide. Some are, I'm not, we all decide for ourselves.

If you want a lot more comfort for a bit more money look at Nekton.
The diving from either boat should be about the same.
