Cozumel used to be my favorite other than Philippines but found the new Caribbean favorite this year (12 days in July and went back for 7 more in September). Fly to STX (St. Croix, US Virgin Islands). Passport not required but makes travel easy. Money is already US dollars. Only difference is you can easily rent a car and it is still a left hand drive but they drive on the left side of the road. St. Croix is more sparsely populated than most Caribbean Islands know for diving so less crowded. Recommend diving with St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures (SCUBA) in Christensted or N2TheBlue in Fredericksted. American & JetBlue fly to STX. More variety of marine life in one dive under the Fredericksted Pier (easy shore dive) than any other place I’ve been. Next trip will do a night bioluminescence dive. The wall goes to 13,000’ deep!
