I wouldn't call diving an afterthought there - not sure it's all much of a thought at all. It's simply not a dive resort per se. But heading just down the road to Ocean Frontiers works fine, especially if you are doing only a morning or afternoon boat - maybe not both everyday, which is doable but can be rushed if you want to hit your room in between. (We stayed at the Reef and dove with OF back before Compass Point condos were completed.) The main catch might be if OF has space, depending how many divers you have and how full Compass Point is.
The Reef website actually seems to be making more of an effort promoting diving than in the past, I see dive packages listed. There is a somewhat new dive op on site, which got a mixed review from someone here awhile back, but that could have been newness and needing to work things out. Or not, I dunno. There is still certainly a lack of info you'd like to see on either website.
Of course there is also Tortuga Divers at Morritt's next door, you can just walk over there. Historically Tortuga has had that rep for being a bit nannyish and more suitable for beginner divers, but I don't know if that's still the case. But it might work out fine, especially if you could take over a boat.
