Where is best snorkeling in east Caribbean?

[billie5]

I am not sure where to post a topic about all Caribbean ports of call, so I am going to give it a shot here, and maybe on one of the cruise line boards.

 

What are the best islands for snorkeling in the Caribbean?

 

The question is not academic. We are going on a 2 week cruise which will include Bahamas, Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Bonaire, and Aruba. That is to say, just about the whole western Caribbean except Dominica and Grenada, as well as two of the Dutch Caribbean islands. I would like to snorkel in two or three of the best locations, but which ones?

 

Bonaire, I believe, would be on anyone's list, but beyond that I am really not sure. I would appreciate any advice from someone who is more experienced.

 

Thanks.
