I have a week off in mid/late September after a trip to New Zealand. Since I will be in the South Pacific with a week off Im trying to find a nice dive destination that hopefully I can get to relatively easily. I have looked at liveaboards and unfortunately none seem to fit my schedule. Any recommendations for destination would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you're traveling back to the US you could go via Fiji or Tahiti, believe you can get a direct flight to LA from either location on the local carrier. You could go here: http://fijisharkdive.com/ I've not been but I've seen lots of trip reports from people who have been there.
I've dived Morea which is the island just off Tahiti and really enjoyed that. Loads of reef life including loads of sharks.
