depending on where you go, would have better water clarity AND more kick-a$$ beaches and scenery above water level.. Don't get me wrong - the Caribbean is bad to the bone, but the South Pacific is in an entirely different ball park.. to me, the South Pacific makes Mexico look like a lake.. there's just no comparison.. Now, other areas in the Caribbean are much better than Mexico, but still..
Honestly you only hafta worry about Great Whites in a few very select areas: unfortunately for you, California.. the quite a few of the Pacific and South Pacific islands, including the Pacific side of Mexico.. maybe North East in the US and South Africa.. But, pretty safe from Whites in the Caribbean and Bahamas.. However, you gotta worry more about Tiger Sharks in those areas and Bull Sharks.. Bulls are everywhere.. Bulls make me more nervous than any other shark I've dove with because they are so unpredictable and aggressive.. Same with Oceanic White Tips..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
