You can also take a non-diver with you and pay somewhat less and they get a week aboard a freaky luxury yacht. Check out this link to just one of Aggressor's boats..
And even if you go alone, or with your S.O. to a shore-based place like Cozumel's Wyndam Coz (formerly the "Hotel Coz"), they will put you on a boat daily and you will get a dive buddy or just dive with the Divemaster. All while the S.O. sits next to the pool and reads a book. Yuk! 
And, when I'm retired, since I like liveaboards, I'll hang on those liveaboard sites and snatch-up last minute deals that are CHEEEEAP! |
I'll have to look into something like the shore based.
The wife gets sea sick easily so liveaboards for her would be torture. We found this out on first trip to the Keys on a snorkeling trip. Did you know that tarpons love regurgitated McDonalds? She was a trooper and kept snorkeling but had to stop and purge quite a bit. She had more sealife following her than anywhere else near the reef we were at.
