Just returned from a cruise that gave me the opportunity to do 2 dives in both Dominica and Tobago. Some observations in no particular order:
Dominica is beautiful! I dove with Nature Island Dive in the "town" (OK, more like a few houses) of Soufriere. Very nice people, decent boats, and dive sites very close to shore. Based on a very small sample (again, only 2 dives) I rate Dominica as high as anywhere in the Caribbean. If you dive with Nature Island, I particularly recommend the wall dive that is literally ~150 yards from the shore/dive shop.
Tobago was also terrific. Some coral bleaching, but generally very beautiful reefs. One of the dive sites we went to had a LOT of current -- but I'm told that's typical for Tobago.
Surprisingly, I didn't see any Lion Fish in either location. Probably just a matter of time.
Bottom line: both locations moved up considerably on my "must-do" list. I expect to plan a future vacation to both islands.
