Thanks Tim, couldn't agree more. I lived in Bonaire from 2013-2018, and always enjoyed diving there, I was in the water almost every day for either work or pleasure. I returned this past summer and found the diving has deteriorated quite a bit, not just fish life but the SCTLD of course as well. The east coast is still amazing though! Lots of turtles, eagle rays, etc., but very few sharks or big groupers anywhere around the island.
The few dives I've done on SXM were a lot of fun, lots of life. I was in Anguilla last month and dove all around the island. Lots of life on the wrecks, and fun diving on the eastern tip at Anguillita as well. It reminded me a lot of St. Maarten actually...
