Europe?

You should consider Croatia. Definitely the best place to
dive in Europe, and most bealtiful landscapes and people as
well. Especially small islands southt of Split (Korcula,
etc.) and Kornati. You need a permision but nobody checked
it on us. Boat rental is fairly cheap (150 DM for a 120 HP
engine speedboat per day, 8 prs capacity), you can also
catch a ride with fishermen - they are really cheap and they
give you free Rakija - killer vodka. Police is very
unpleasent - stay only in camping places, don't sleep in
marinas etc., as you may be granted with fine and "passport
stamp" which disallows you to enter the contry for as long
as five years.
I can't believe that someone got there before me and recommended Croatia. I agree with everything that Dugi has said. Kornati would be amazing, as would anywhere near to Split, especially the islands.
It's very safe there, the people are fantastic and incredibly hospitable, and there is no fear of war. I went to the Dalmatian coast for the summer during the war, and I was still safe! The food is fresh and delicious, and that goes for the 'burger bars' too which create the most amazing sandwiches.
You'll love it.
