I think a lot of the Caribbean reefs are in major trouble due to over-fishing, pollution & warming waters (i.e. climate change).

Here's an article on the issue: (80% loss)

Saint Lucia was incredible but I was there in 2010 so thing may have changed since then.

Cozumel has very nice reefs and lots of fish.
Bonaire is also nice and diving is easy because the reefs are so close to shore and a boat is not needed. Shore diving is the way to go.
Snorkeling is also very good.

BEST snorkeling ever, just below the house off a private landing.....

bring your own snorkel gear.... it is a SMALL island.

AMAZING place that is affordable & rent his jeep to get around.
