But you missed the crucial PREFERENCE (prerequisites?) Gio stated:

For those, the Caribbean is not in the same league as the Pacific.

There isn't ANY Clownfish (Anemonefish for the purist <G>) nor
Lionfish anywhere in the Caribbean, though there are some locations
that have COMMON Caribbean Nudibrachs not in Giovanni's picture

Which liveaboard?  Are you sure berths are still available?  If you
and Giovanni will be there, and space is available, I may go just to
punch BOTH of you in the snorkel (I assume that's an "acceptible",
Politically Correct, and scuba-certified term to use for "snoot"
or "snout')  <BG>
