I'd say that a lot of the sites listed are based more on popularity than quality.
I wasn't all that impressed with Maui. It was nice ... but I'd hardly put it in the "tops in the world" category. In fact, I'd put it near the bottom of the warm-water dive destinations I've been to.
The Blue Hole, Belize and Manta Ray night dive, Hawaii are more "been there, done that" sort of dives ... you do them because everyone else said they were great. And then later on ... when you've been to some real nice places, you think back and wonder what all the fuss was about.
Catalina Island is terrific ... but I don't think it's even the best dive site in Southern California, much less the world.
Cozumel I just don't get ... it's where everyone wants to go when they first get certified, and then go back because it's familiar and easy to get to. For me it was nothing special.
Bonaire is ... IMO ... one of the legitimately top-quality dive destinations. I've been there three times, and can't wait to go back again.
I think a lot of what you consider "best" really depends on what kind of diving you like to do, and what means you have to get to a given destination. The tops on my personal "best in the world" locations is Lembeh Straits, Indonesia ... but there's a lot of places I haven't been yet ...
