 Bonaire and North Carolina are up there on my list.  One for warm water sea life, and the other for wrecks and sharks!

Well, I've heard some great things about the Jean-Michel Cousteau resort out in Fiji, so thats got to be one of the top five spots I would like to visit. Just wondering how is the diving out in that Atlantis resort on Nassua in the Bahamas?

 Channel Islands, but be warned the Seals do Nip... (Bite)

If you have an old junk drysuit use it, or just deal with the chill and wear a wet suit.

 Cozumel should be your very first dive trip.  To those of us lucky enough to live in the Chicago area, you can't beat the connections.  During high season there's Fun Jet and Apple Vacations direct from O'Hare, Midway, or Mitchell.

Dallas Airport is a really easy connection point and American flies through there every day.

Continental flies through Houston every day.

You can't beat the reefs or assortments of wildlife on there.  Almost the entire eastern shore is a National Park and the fish are protected.

I always dive with Dive Paradise.  You can check out everything you might ever want to know about the island and the reefs at www.diveparadise.com
