Bonaire should be on any divers must-do list. Incredible diving

So hard to answer any question when your criteria is undefined. What's better mean to you?

Another problem is many of the places you listed have have various 'good', 'better' and 'best' diving at them, but experiencing it can depend upon what areas you stay in and even who you dive with.

Little Cayman is a bad destination to use to gauge places with, there really are only 2-3 places to stay there and you're basically diving the same area no matter who you stay with, looking at Roatan for instance and this is not the case at all, there are many, many choices where to stay there and different locations with offer different dive experiences. Some of your locations offer unique dives, for example in the Bahamas you could dive with a bunch of tiger sharks, none of the other locations offer that.

Really need to tell us what's better to you? Short boat rides to the dive sites? Shore diving? Marine life? Corral? Big stuff? Little stuff? Food? Accommodations? All of the places you listed are on the top of the list for popular dive destinations, so you're not really going wrong with any of them.

One of the best trips I have ever taken was to Turneffe Island Resort in Belize. All but Wednesday's dive was within a five or ten minute boat ride. Wednesday's dive was the Blue Hole - something everyone should do once in their life.

The trip is an easy one with direct flights into Belize City from both airports in Houston. Check it out.

What are you looking to do? Define best? Define anywhere (does that mean any price?)

If I had really had a "free" pass, I would be doing the Odyssey liveaboard in Truk Lagoon.

I would also look at Iceland, Croatia, Thailand.

For more "local" Florida Keys, Mexican Cenotes, Great Lakes, or the St. Lawrence River
