My wife and I have just gone through the rigors of certification.(basic)

I have been reading this net for about 6 months and would like to 
find out about good places (lots of things to see) to dive in the
Caribean (sp). Since we are both beginners, we would like to keep
within certain parms.:


		dives between 30 and 60 feet
		two dives per day
		good but inexpensive equipment rental
		easy access to dive site (just off shore or SHORT boat ride)
		good hotels (food and rooms)
		easy to reach by air from Newark NJ Airport


We are considering taking this trip in the next 6 months.
I thank in advance anyone who responds to this inquery and would
be happy to post a follow up if there is enough interest.

	thanks

I can provide you with a location that satisfies all of your 
requirements but the depth limitations.  Try the Brac Reef Lodge
on Cayman Brac.  Nice people, a well run dive operation - local
people, not a chain - and some absolutly stupendous diving
just off shore.  Seldom more than a 15 minute boat ride.


Now (woe!) the problem is that the first dive of the day is
generally to 100 feet.  However, I would not worry.  The 
visibility is 100 feet plus, and there is really no
additional risk.  The divemaster is very safety conscious
and their response to problems is highly professional.
