To Dive or Not to Dive??

We will be on a cruise with 5 stops. The third stop is Antigua. Is it a good dive spot? We are more into reefs than wrecks. Can someone suggest a good operator?

I have been to Antigua several times, but dove there only once, and once was enough. The beaches are beautiful, but the visibility sucks bigtime - year round. Though you will find a few dive operators, they too will tell you that average vis is around 40-60 feet on a good day. Reefs are not protected, so there are few fish thanks to fishing. There are a few wrecks, but they aren't great. I say skip the diving in Antigua and go to the beach instead.
