Unfortunately, she works at a Salon / Spa, so that has little appeal for her (the reality is she has rarely found one on vacation where she was happy with the service)…
She’s happy to spend a couple of hours just reading on the beach / by the pool while on vacation, but not every day… There’s not really any one thing she likes to do while on vacation…
Wow, that's rough.... does she like to snorkel at all? Or can she not get in the water at all?
Most places, as RoatanMan said, either have great topside or great diving, you rarely find both at the same location. Ambergris Caye in Belize has lots of topside activities, but they are primarily all-day things, like jungle cruises, mayan ruins, zipline tours, cave tours, cave tubing, etc. You might could give her a full day on the beach while you dive, then the following day both of you go on an excursion...maybe?

We live on the east coast I dive and my wife goes to the spa. Hawaii is definetly beautiful, but the flight and the time change kills you. If you can take a month for vacation then go to Hawaii. If not Cozumel is my favorite we go 3 times a year. Stay at cozumel palace, and dive with Sandollar sports which is offsite but well worth it. Dive boats leave at 8 and you will be back by noon to have lunch with your wife. Its a beautiful thing when she sleeps til 10 and gets a massage and I show up after some of the best diving in the world to a happy and relaxed wife. enjoy
My non-diving spouse and non-diving kids like Curacao. In fact we're going back for our second trip in a few weeks. Diving similar to Bonaire, but the beaches actually have sand!
And because it's mostly shore diving you're only gone for the time you're under water. We stay at the Marriott, where I can get up from my lounge chair, announce to Mrs RJP "I'm going for a quick dive, you want me to grab you a Pina Colada on my way back?"
Any place where you'd do boat diving - Mexico, Kona, Caymans, etc - you'd be looking at leaving before breakfast and not getting back until after lunch or so for a two tank dive. When we go to places like that I'm "allowed" maybe one or two days of diving. In Curacao, each day we go to some or other different lovely beach where we spend the morning playing with the kids in the water and baby-powder white sand, and I get a dive or two in during our time there.
Night dives at the Marriott are great: my wife and kids sit at the bar at the "Board Room" beach bar and have drinks and appetizers while playing "spot-daddy's-dive-light" and when I surface we toss my gear in my dive locker and we walk over to Hook's Hut for dinner.
No where near the 30 dives I get in during a week on Bonaire with my dive buddy, but on Curacao I can easily get in two dives a day without the wife feeling like she and the kids were dragged along on a dive trip.
Tropical place which she can relax watching the sun go by beside the beach! Nature bro! Come to sabang beach puerto galera,Philippines..good diving and lot of things to do for your spouse.
Bali; shopping, surfing, sightseeing, and local culture topside and a great variety of diving, from muck diving up north in Tulamben or Menjangan to high current drift diving off Nusa Penida. Probably the best place to see Mola-mola.
So she can snorkel at least at the surface? Fiji's great for both. For Caribbean consider, try running this Vacation Selector system (uses our software) to find the best fit for you both. Exsys / Flash Island Selector
