Help with holiday for single traveller in May please.

Hi
My hubby is hoping to go somewhere around the 13/14th May (flexible by a couple of days) for 7 nights from London airports. He doesn't mind which board BB/ HB/ AI. Must be able to go diving, thats what he's going for! Would ideally like to go to Caribbean or Florida Keys but will probably end up going back to Egypt (prefer Sharm el sheik but must be in Naama Bay) or would love to do a liveaboard anywhere. Im struggling to find holidays for singles so any help would be appreciated.
Will probably end up using Explorers for a last minute deal if we cant find anything else.
TIA
Funkymum

    How did you get that price for the maldives? I could only get £544.
    Where could I look for hotels for Maldives or Caribbean. Ive used med hotels & on the beach before but dont know who to use for further afield places.
    We looked at Dom republic but he would have to go to the south as the divings not so good on the North & not so many places seem to do the South.
    Thanks

    Might not be what your looking for but you could try having a look on this site. On the bottom left hand side it says about single travellers:

    Thanks for all your help. Hubby has now booked to do a liveaboard holiday in the red sea as prices have now dropped & he doesn't have to pay a single supplement for that.
    Thanks again
