As a fellow diver who hails from Pembrokeshire, let me recommend West Wales Divers in Talbenny. Fabulous boat dives around the islands - the seals are just amazing and there are a couple of wrecks too. No need for drysuits in the summer either - a 5mm long suit is fine.

oooooh Melanie you are naughty - I wasn't even thinking of sneaking in a cheeky dive, but now that you mentioned it!!! (we have all our own equipment, no drysuits though, we use 5mm's plus a 3'm shorty if it's a bit nippy anyway - so I think we will give your suggestion some serious thought)[:D]

Simbel - I love the Maldives and can't wait for my IVA to finish so I can go back again, but it's only snorkling for me I'm afraid!

Jan - they are lush, but have you seen how much they are asking for two weeks holiday out there now - it's just silly money (I think they just think of a number, any number as long as it has alot of 0000 in it) even though we can't go for the next 8 years or so, I still look at the holidays and dream - the diving out there was brilliant, but for whaleshark encounters we were better off snorkling - we had some amazing times with these beautiful creatures [:)]

Hubby took me for my 50th just for a week, fully inclusive (no way would I go otherwise!). We had a lovely little lagoon outside the room where we snorkeled every day. One day though, there was an invasion of tiny purple jellyfish which stung your face! Put me off for a bit!

We went on a very belated honeymoon (19 years late to be exact)- don't think we will ever be able to go again even when we are out of the IVA, but hey at least we can say we've been there, done that!![:D] We use to travel alot in our early years of marriage because I worked in the travel industry and got lots of wonderful offers (example 15 days in Kenya with Safari for £299 per person all inclusive.

It's like stepping into a warm bath - and very shallow!

To die for!

Shallow is ok, but I'm terrified of deep water!

It is possible, collecting every clubcard point going with Tesco, for 2 years to go on holiday for a week abroad. You have to make sure you book half board though so that most costs are covered by your clubcard vouchers. You can book through cosmos, not the cheapest travel company, but if its all covered by vouchers its do-able.

Skip - it is really shallow!

Have to say that any holiday I go on now (other than our storm chasing Helen!) will be fully inclusive. I love the fact that once it's paid for I don't have to worry about anything else.

I've done all inclusive, self-catering, full board and half board but personally prefer self-catering as I like to go out every night to different restaurants. When the children were young all inclusive was great as we never had to say no. x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
