What is your DREAM dive trip?

At the top of my short-list dream trips – this one has been in the research stage (my travel books are worn thin) and saving stage for the past couple of years. I have burned up the ‘email’ lines as well, to most of my planned stops. I’ll have the funds by 2010 …. In theory. Or one of these days I may just say screw it and CHARGE ahead! Of course all my ‘dry’ friends think I’m nuts so I’ll be traveling on my own as usual – unless any of you lot want to join me? :-)
Anyway my dream trip…. it’s 5 -6 weeks of cultural exploration and daily diving as I work my way through Micronesia. First a few days each diving Siapan and Guam, then on to Chuuk, for several days. I’m excited to see all the WWII wrecks. Then Yap for tons of diving (Manta’s) and exploring all the islands. I want to go to the Forbidden Island. I don’t care what’s there – it’s forbidden so I must find a way to go! I want to try living ‘native’ with a local family part of the time. Then finally, I’d like to spend at least a couple weeks in Palau diving and exploring – also spending some time living with the locals.
This is only ONE of several that I have completely planned and routed out, only waiting for proper funding!

OK, that sounds awesome! It's going on MY must do list.What is your dream dive trip? Do you spend as much time surfing the web, pouring over dive mags and daydream planning dive trips as I do?

Iguess my dream dive trip is the one that I'm on at the present time. The one to everywhere. Just as my favorite place to dive will always be the next place I'm going to.
Oh yes and the singledivers.com tech trip next year

Next two regions of interest (South America and Africa) don't lend themselves as nicely to such an extended journey). No dreaming anyway until my bank account undergoes some CPR.

If money were no object, dream dive trip would be a land-based trip (no liveaboards) with just a few people I already know (no strangers, did that once, had a horrible time) that had a lot of good shore diving available as well as occasional charter (no cattle boats!) excursions. Between dives I would want to sample the culture and cuisine and fun w/o having to fight crowds or worry about getting mugged.What is your dream dive trip?

No, and for the same reason I don't indulge in porn. Why get myself worked up over something I can't have?

Right now, I'm concentrating on the SD Wakatobi trip in October, and an additional 11 days of diving in the Raja Ampat area.
To paraphrase our wine tasting host [and fellow diver], at the SD - DFW Happy Hour last night. Diving and wine drinking are similar. There are always more sites to dive, and wines to drink.
