Bonaire - the island of Kleine Bonaire could be a destination in itself, with
several places to snorkel.
A well protected, marine reserve.
Despite hitting the rainy season (avoid), we think normally this would be one of the top Caribbean destinations.
A laid-back place, in which we enjoyed the food and the people.

a busy island (western side), not very scenic but loads to do
Grand Cayman - many places to snorkel. Easy access, often separated by a
short, easy drive. Snorkelling is not quite up to that of Bonaire and pehaps even Curacao, in terms of fish
and corals.
A flat island - scenically a bit boring above the water. Busy and built-up on the western side in particular. Not an island retreat but you wont get bored.

Very few good snorkelling spots separated by lengthy, often tortuous drives (but very scenic).
