I had posted before about South America the continent. I have it narrowed down now.
I will spend about a month in Colombia - with the options of Ecuador and Venezuela if I feel I have it covered. (Then Peru for a couple weeks)
So I will be in Colombia in June.
I want to take some surfing lessons and do some scuba diving (I am not trained so maybe that whimpier kind?)... looking for recommendations!

Don't go to Venezuela. It's really unsafe. Caracas has the highest crime and murder rate in the western hemisphere. Hugo Chavez has destroyed that country. Take it from someone who has family there.
Colombia on the other hand has benefited from America's aid against the 'drug war' and their crime rate has dropped significantly in the last decade. I hear colombia is beautiful (not to mention their peeps)

Hot Roddy Roddy Piper - Looking into safety issues now.
I am leaning towards Colombia and Ecuador anyway - it is hard to know what is safe and what is not safe. I plan on taking buses around both countries - and crossing the border, as flights from one to the other are not cheap.
A lot of resources say it is safe now, but some say otherwise!
Also my girlfriend is blonde. Oh shit.
- Panama is an option too. Good surf on the pacific side.hotroddy
