Any recommendations for diving and staying in Bimini? I am the only diver in the group I travel with so I want a place that has reasonable diving and things to do for the non-divers as well.

Hi all!
Have 2 blank tickets for SW airlines (so anywhere they go with 1 stop between). I think Mexico or Bahamas is in order, my g/f is a brand new diver, this will be her first dive outside of class. I'm more experienced, but I'm looking for
+visibility (June timeframe)
+easy diving for her
+underwater scenery
+easy wreck dives if possible
Please nowhere with a shark, I think she'd never get back in the water, lol.
I've been to Cozumel, which had amazing diving right off the coast, and seemed very easy for a newbie.
Options are:
Cancun
Nassau
San Juan
Aruba
Punta Cana
Montego Bay
Cabo San Lucas
Puerto Vallarta
Florida
Appreciate the input!

Aruba seems like a really good option and maybe Curacao even better. We looked into the latter but unable to pull the trigger on it. Of all the options, this one is the most appealing especially with free airfare.
Bonaire is all about shore diving. Rent a pick-up truck, load it with tanks, drive around, go diving.
[/Bonaire's shore diving is great, but wear good dive boots as entry points can be rocky and loaded with coral heads. Some spiny sea urchins too. Buddy Dive offers trucks, breakfasts, and unlimited air or Nitrox. Carry extra tank O-rings; you'll avoid trips back to get them when/if they fail.]
