| you will not beat North Wales for all of the prerequisites you state.
I will have alook for places to stay and post them here although you could do worse than a mobile home at Presthaven sands(prestatyn) booked through Haven Holidays, as most things in North Wales are pretty much within about 30-40 minutes drive of Prestatyn.
Diving wise you have Vivian Quarry,in Llanberis 18m deep and loads to do in the area for Non-divers.(if half term is same a london I will be in north wales that week and willbe able to buddy with you at vivian ) or you can visit Elfyn(Yellow ButtyBox) for a sea dive.
Thje best bit about north Wales is that there is just so much to do.
Electric mountain,Llechwedd slate caverns,Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle, Snowdonia, PortMeirion, Porthmadog, Pwhelli ,Criccieth(also good for shore diving)
On Anglesey there is butterfly world (Pili Palas) although in octobernot sure what this would be like.
It may even be feasible for a day trip to Dublin from Holyhead and even if you do not make the trip there is Southstack lighthouse.
The Wales tourist board website is very good and may help with suggestions for reasonable priced accomodation.
