Grenada has some really good diving.

D2O based at the Rex hotel 5ins from the airport could take you out on a huge cruise ship wreck and a nurse shark festooned reef in the same day.

I'm in Barbados now and had a really good night dive and deep wreck dive with Rogers Scuba Shack. There is less to see than in Grenada but still good and more to do when you aren't diving.

I'm looking at Coco Reef Resort on Tobago at the moment, the diving sounds pretty good, I'll update when I know a bit more or if I book something.

Grenada..great for wreck diving on the Atlantic side. Bianca "C", King Mitch, Shaken and more. Good currents and fish life

Bonaire..great for typical Caribbean soft coral reefs but with the exeption of dolphins and tarpon not much in the way of pelagics. Lots of our Colonial Cousins though!!

Tobago..great for wild water diving down in Speyside. Chance of bigger stuff depending on season.

Speyside was a fun few dive, I stayed at Manta lodge which is now extra divers.

I have always found extra divers to be good.
