I'm not really a freediver, more of a recreational scuba diver, but next spring or summer I'd like to take the family to a nice place where we can all get in the water for some snolkeling. So I'm looking for a place that has the following:

* not too far from the UK, where not too far means no further than the east coast of the US (the Pacific means too long a flight)

* warm water so we can get in the water without wetsuits, or with nothing more than perhaps a shorty

* pretty and plentiful aquatic life, so we can just float on the top and look at the fishies

* other things to do too, like zoos, gardens, playgrounds

* if possible, not too expensive!

Anyone got any recommendations?

Charter flights to Maldives take 10 hours.. you can get really good deals now and the snorkelling is unbeatable in terms of safety for kids, clarity, fish life, beaches etc .
