I think that Devil's Throat is a little overrated. You just dive into a dark hole and emerge back out again.
I think that Maracaibo Shallows is the most awesome dive off the island. The condition of that reef, the size of the reef structures and the marine life seen there is the best...

How come nobody every mentions Punta Tunich? Am I the only one that sees anything there? I love it.

If you go to Coz and don't dive Columbia Shallows, you need serious help. With the abundant life and extream shallowness, (is that a word?), super max bottom times. it is a Cozumel must!
Other top dive San Francisco to look for Splendid Toadfish, saw no less than 3 on last dive there in April.
Palancar Cave & Gardens are right up there...
...the truth is...if you just dump me off anywhere out on that reef system, I won't be disappointed.

I like the ones in the water out on the reefs. It's all good.
Best reef/best dive? Impossible question: depends on what you like. Shallow/deep, lingering or ripping current, etc.
My take: I'll second sharky60 above - I did a continuous 2 hour dive on Columbia Shallows (the shallow depth makes this possible), and I'll never forge that dive for the beauty and variety of the ecosystem (Thanks, by the way, to Jeremy at Living Underwater for accompanying me the entire time!). One the other hand, we hit Barracuda once when the DM estimated the current at 5-6 knots, and WOW, that's what I call a 'star wars' dive cuz everything's wizzin' by. Barracuda was in great shape and had lots of nifty pockets that you could duck into to escape the current. Thanks, by the way, to Aldora for that dive.
