    Where is the best diving in the Caribbean?

    I know this is subjective, so to clarify great diving for me is lots of marine life, preferably larger marine life like rays, turtles, giant groupers. I ask as I am trying to schedule a vacation that includes great diving and off shore snorkeling. I like to do both.
