Curacao, just nextdoor to Bonaire, is also a great snorkling destination. Not as great as bonaire, but still a very exiting destination. Most of the snorkling sites are accesible brom the beaches, so no need to rent a boat all the time.

The coral bleaching unfortunatelly is happening in lots of places.. Sea temperatures are changing faster than the corals can adapt to it.

Try the coast of Belize. I remember of hearing about some Cays and isn't their like the biggest tropical reef in the Western Hemishpere there?

If you like snorkling why dont you try the maldives instead of the caribbean, have been to the dominican and only snorkling was on the trips and not that great, went to cuba last year that was better, went snorkling every day from the hotel. We are going to the maldives on thursday got our snorkling gear ready can not wait.

Leinster Bay (St. John): With easy access from land and sea, Leinster Bay is filled with calm, clear, and uncrowded waters with an abundance of sea life.

Haulover Bay (St. John): A favorite with locals, this small bay is rougher than Leinster and is often deserted. The snorkeling is dramatic, with ledges, walls, nooks, and sandy areas set close together. At this spot, only about 182m (597 ft.) of land separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea.
