I would say below Bonaire for sure would be my #1.... Equal with the
others. Snorkeling with the turtles in Barbados can be fun too,
although I've had great snorkeling in St Kitts too!! Id put St.Kitt's
#3 after St. John's come to think of it.

If they ever wanted to do "discover scuba" Bonaire would be the place
as well....is offered as a tour by many lines. Yellow Submarine in
Bonaire is a great company to try it for your first time!

Thanks again, I am printing this out to give them!!

St. Kitts is one of my favorite ports, but they aren't going there if
they book the cruise we talked about.

I am a little uncomfortable about snorkeling with turtles in case the
turtles are afraid to come up for air and drown. I don't know about
the Bahamas specifically, but I've always been told not to follow or
snorkel over a turtle.

Umm then don't do it of course! In practice, I give all such
creatures plenty of space in the water! I have no need to pet a
turtle/dolphin/sting ray/etc., or stalk em! Lol I like to keep my
distance from other snorkelers as well so I don't get kicked in the
teeth etc. lol.
