Of course, that's a subjective question (and depends on what kind of diving you want to do) but generally speaking, my votes would go to:
Bonaire, Turks & Cacios, Belize, Cayman Islands, & Virgin Islands

One of my favorites was around San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. Reefs, walls, all kinds of tiny & pelagic life including hammerhead sharks.

Hands down Roatan... Been to all the places listed so far, none are as good as Roatan IMHO. You can add Hawaii as another one "not as good as" too! I know, not in the Caribean but what the heck.

Bonaire, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac, Grand Turk. You can't go wrong on any of these.

Is the biggest island in the caribbean after Cuba. Sweet spots to check:
- East National Park. Several coral reef areas and the Saona Island. You can take some tours or rent a boat from the locals at Bayahibe.
- Jaragua National Park. It's a bit away from most facilities, but it's worth the trip.
- Samana Bay. During the months of November-March the hunchback whales come to this part of the island to breed.
There are many more places.....

On of your three other posts mentioned something important.
That definitely changes the answer... as it changes the question.
The best islands to dive are not the best ones to work. As a matter of fact- the best islands for diving offer no dive related work, most aren't even serviced by live aboards.
So, really, has your question changed from the other thread- or should we consider employment opportunities as well?

Roatan definitely gets my vote any day. I have been there over 40 times and it continues to be my favorite place in the world. I have also been diving on many islands in the Caribbean and all the islands of Hawaii. So far Roatan is the best.
