I don't know which is the best, but I've tried Audacity for analysing land
soundscapes (just for my own interest), mainly by looking at spectrograms page
by page, and now I'm trying Raven Pro which makes working with long recordings
in multiple files much easier, and can do some automated analysis. I'm mainly
interested in birds, so I'm not sure how well either of these will work for
marine recordings, or for the specific things you want to do. Audacity is a
free program intended for general sound editing, Raven Pro costs money but has
academic pricing.
There's a list of programs you could try at:

and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bioacoustics_Software
But I'm sure there are more. I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

I am new to the soundscape analysis field and I would like to know in what
direction is best to invest money and time. I am looking for a software that
would allow me to analyse different metrics, from the basics (amplitude of a
certain frequency band) to the advanced such as counting of specific signals
(snapping shrimps snaps and fish vocalizations) and diversity indexes.
I have limited experience with R and no experience at all with Matlab but I am
willing to invest time in it if it is really worth it.
Thank you for your advice!
