Default Bonaire, Turks/Caicos or Grand Cayman?

Three spring break choices.

Attending would be myself and my girlfriend, both 21/22, my sister...17,18, I don't know...and my parents.

I dive, my sister dives, my dad dives, my girlfriend dives...everyone but mi madre.

Where would you go? My mom doesn't care if she's in a diving oriented spot, she's just happy to be on a beach, so just assume we all dive I reckon

Why, just looks nice? I've been to Grand Cayman once, but didn't get to dive and it was my sole foray outside of the US, so I kinda want to go to one of the other two for the sake of saying I've been somewhere else, but at the same time Grand Cayman was sweet.

Final destination will likely come down to an argument between me and my sister because I'm sure she'll want to go where ever I don't want to go just on principal and she always wins those arguments because "she's the baby"...so I'm not sure why I'm asking...we're going where she says, I can already see it.

She'd sniff that plan out from a mile away...darn the people who decided to teach psychology in high school these days...

Apparently my mom is talking to a travel agent and getting some stuff back right around Thanksgiving (which is also when I'm going home...) so I'll know more about where they're leaning then.

Turks/Caicos sounded good to me too. For me it's between T&C and Grand Cayman...our local dive shop runs trips to Bonaire all the time, so I don't see why I'd want to take a family type vacation there if I've got the opportunity to go dive there anytime I could afford to go with the dive club.

Thanks for the replies.
