Diving sites that a 12y cetified diver can enjoy -abacos??

We want to fly from Florida to the Bahamas for a week long dive vacation. Due to our son's age we need to avoid dives that are over 50ft. Looking for complete packages if possible. Prefer direct flights to avoid small planes.

I've only flown over Abaco, but from what I've seen we will continue to go on down to Long Island. We've stayed several times at www.chezpierrebahamas.com , and will be going back sometime this summer. They are to small and beautifuly remote to have a dive shop, but there is one fifteen or so miles north. at the Stella Marris marina. Long Island can now be reached by commercial flights in one day, so you don't have to fly your own small plane. I've never taken the time to drag my scuba gear down there, but the snorkeling is great. The beaches and coast line of Long Island are by far the most beutiful in the Americas. Pierrs food is great as well as his prices modest. I always rent a car and explore, but my wife likes to do nothing but just beach it.
