We have very good prices here for diving (compared to the caribbean); most of the people speak english and we use the US Dollar as currency.

I hear Indonesia has good scuba diving also (I wanna say Bali, but I might be wrong).
If you go, stay at Casa Iguana for a fantastic experience if you're the adventurous sort. My wife and I stayed there for our honeymoon, and it was great!

Went there with my Dad way back when I was still a young man. Such a great time. Endless visibility, lots of sealife, nice people.
Think there's over 25 designated shore dive sites that are easy to get to. Some very excellent wrecks slightly offshore.
Went on an amazing wall dive that topped out around 110 feet...plenty to see even at shallow depths.
Think that was one of the best parts....the more shallow you stay the more time you get to dive.
The whole island is a protected dive sanctuary so they really work hard to keep the place healthy and has tons of places to check out.
Man I wish I could go back there but you know the authorities and lack of money.
I don't know what that would cost you, though.
Are you potty?! Its cold, murky water, windy (I don't dive, and the only chance of changing colour is from windburn) and there's a BUTLITZ there!

The mainland near Playa Del Carmen has Cenotes which have to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Acumal (south of Playa Del Carmen) is a breeding zone for Sea Turtles. This is what we saw.
We're going to Honduras in a month, we've heard only good things and it should be the middle of the Whale Shark migration, which will be awesome.
If you're planning a SCUBA only vacation (or primarily SCUBA) I would suggest an all inclusive resort. After diving all day the last thing I like to think about is making, or finding food.
I don't know what certification you/he has MAUI/PADI whatever. I know with PADI, it's usually cheaper to do the "Advanced Underwater" course then to buy 5 dives. You get five dives with an instructor you also learn some stuff and get a certification out of the whole thing. Something to look into when you're booking.
Personally although I prefer open water diving when I'm making a trip out of it, quarry diving is a great day trip just to get wet and breathe some compressed gas.
