The middle of the Caribbean Sea is over the middle of the Caribbean Plate. Most volcanoes form near the edges of tectonic plates. For example, the lesser Antilles are composed in part of volcanoes at the margin of the Caribbean Plate.

Why are Atlantic coastlines relatively free of earthquakes and volcanoes?
The Atlantic is a relatively young ocean. The late movements are pushing both the sea-floor and the continents at either side of the ocean apart as 'one piece'. The destructive plate loss to accommodate this expansion is therefore occurring on the other side of these continents. As the movement is in 'one piece' there is no deformation or subduction happening that will cause earthquakes or volcanoes. There is however one small area of exception and that is the Caribbean ark which is a destructive margin. This stretch has both volcanoes and earthquakes.
