The problem is that the only places you can get to reliably are "big
resort areas". I personally wouldn't care to drive through Baja. Used
to fly in from Torrance, but not drive.

Outside of the major resort areas, that would present a major problem.

Fly in to Cozumel. Good (although reportedly still not as good as it
used to be) snorkling, plenty of night life and almost everyone speaks
better English than my Spanish.

Take a look at Akumal and the area between Akumal and Tuluum. Akumal is
a fairly quiet place. I don't know anything about the snorkeling there,
except that I see alot of people doing it in the lagoons, and I think
at least one of the shops there takes people out in a boat to snorkel.
Snorkeling trips to the cenotes are also available, and you can also
just do it on your own if you have transportation and some knowledge of
where to go.

you can get by with little or no Spanish in the towns.
