where would you go feb 2009?

Hell of a way to get a vacation! LOL I bet it would be a different point of view and not as many Cubans around, unless you count the cigars!

You just have to love those government sponsored tours to tropical destinations; free transportation (round trip for those that qualify), unlimited meals (all the bugs you can stand to eat), the finest accommodations that mud can offer. I did my best to rid the island of as many "Cubans" as possible

Seriously though, I have always wanted to go back and have read a number of articles detailing the dive opportunities down there, so I want to see it again. I am perfectly willing to keep my eyes peeled for more Cubans when I make it back down there

I think I will prob end up back in the Philippines or maybe Thailand.

If you end up coming this way, give me a shout!

what about malaysia

Malyasia is nice, but February is not the best time there.

How about Sri Lanka? Dare I say it but I reckon there is some untapped diving down that way and what makes it even better is that they play some pretty decent cricket there too! But then I would say that being a pom

I was in the East Cost of South Africa in July last year, Proteus Banks and Aliwals Shoals - good shark diving with tigers, black tips,duskies, bronze, bulls and sand tigers. The water is warmer in Feb, so you'll get more tigers in (provided the local fishermen haven't caught them all!). Reef's weren't fantastic, but were still OK, neighbouring Mozambique is supposed to be stunning, but I haven't had the chance yet!

Not sure I'd recommend heading to the South Pacific tropics in Feb, you're slap bang in the middle of the cyclone season! Worth a visit for sure, but perhaps in the cooler months between May/June and October/November?
