The wife and I made this trip a couple of years ago...sounds like you've got everything pretty much covered.

The diving on the reef is absolutely fantastic and was probably the highlight of the trip for us - try to get a few dives in if you can.

As Sylvanfan pointed out, the distance involved in this trip is actually pretty huge, hopefully you have enough time to get everything in. As I recall their speeding enforcement was much more strict than we're used to as well.

We often stopped at some out of the way pubs for lunch/dinner and met some really interesting people that way. Not sure if you like beets or not but they tend to put "beet-root" on everying - especially hamburgers...yuck

I remember the sand flys futher north were really annoying - bug spray helps but a light coating of oil also does the trick.

Make sure to enjoy the XXXX beer and the Bundy rum!
