Default Best Caribbean diving with a kid?

Can anyone recommend a Caribbean Island that is ideal for diving with a 12-year old? My wife, son, and I are all certified and have gone to Bonaire the last couple of years. Bonaire is perfect as most of the diving is from the shore and there's plenty to see above 40 feet (suggested max depth for SSI Junior Open Water Diver until age 16). We're looking for someplace new that has a variety of shallow dive spots. Shore access is great but not essential. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Default Re: Best Caribbean diving with a kid?

A lot of choices to potentially narrow down.
To avoid being with "20,000 other people", go on a smaller ship and check the port schedules to see how many other ships [especially the larger ones] will be in port at the same time.
To avoid "families with lots of kids", don't cruise over any school vacations [some schools that start early have vacations in October, I hear] or in the summer or at holiday time. Also, longer cruises [10 days] will have fewer families and kids, but will then also have more older passengers.
Cruise on lines that are less "family friendly", e.g. Celebrity and HAL. I say that not because these lines don't have kids programs, but they don't have all the wacky activities that kids and "party hearty" types like and they are more traditional in tone, dress and decor.
