I've been snorkeling in the Dominican and in Mexico by Cancun. The Dominican is rather sparse as far as corals go but they have some cool fish. I think I remember a lot of sea fans too. I saw some kind of lone hunting fish that I forget the name of. There were also amberjacks the size of dinner plates swimming with you by the shore. Not the best place to snorkel, but since that was the first place I went, it was amazing to me. In Mexico I snorkeled at the place where salt and freshwater meet & there are caves. The top o the water is cold and underneath is toasty warm. You could see the salt and fresh water mix. Since I kept diving to reach the hot tub water, my guide took me to a black angel fish and told me to hold out my hand to it. It bit me lol. I'm reminded of this every time I put my hands in the tank because a certain clown fish has it out for me. Again, not many corals, but a metric ton of fish everywhere of many many different kinds.

DaveS does SCUBA classes.  He arranged a Dive trip to Honduras a few years ago. 

 

Hilary is also a Dive instructor.

 

Some good places to dive would be Grand Cayman, Belize, Cozumel, Turks & Caicos.
