We started diving at the Club Med in Turks and Caicos and did our first certified OW dives at the Club Med Columbus Isle/San Salvador. Liked the diving at San Salvador better; operations are similar, although the San Salvador op required a checkout dive from the dock. The dive boats do carry quite a few divers, but they are typically divided into "modules" because small groups are being escorted by a DM or taking one sort of lesson or another. In our experience, actual OW divers with buddies have been only about 10-12 of a boatload. The OW divers are given their own briefing, sent out first and told to return in 60 min or 500 lbs. Sex did not determine tank color; random.
It is nice that a few Club Meds have decent diving on site and that is a good reason to pick one of those Clubs if one has to make compromises with family or friends.
