OK, my recommendations are not technically in the Carribean but they're close enough:
1. The liveaboard ship Sea Fever that operates out of Miami and goes to the Bahamas (generally to the Bimini environs). This is a real ship, with cabins, galley, etc. This isn't a Blackbeard's experiences. They run specials around $1100 for a week at sea, up to 5 dives a day, all meals, beer, wine, etc. Typically, you can do 20-25 dives, including some free diving with wild Dolphin pods. Both good and cheap. What a combo!
[Blackbeard's is even cheaper, but it looks to me like it's a far more dreadful experience. Not recommended but some people like it. something like $800 per person. Too spartan. No power. No room. Not much service. ...]
2. Grand Turk Island.
Again, both cheap and spectacular, in terms of diving.
