Caribbean diving "schools" for customized instruction?

[Artimas]

I'm toying with the idea of combining a dive vacation with some dive lessons to learn some new techniques, like deploying lift bags, free ascent practice, and other techniques not normally taught.

I'd also like to try out different equipment, like a BP/W, large steel tanks, perhaps doubles. I was thinking about AOW, but I'm not sure that would give me what I want; it may be too structured. I think I'm looking for something a bit more "custom".

Anyone know of any well equipped schools or shops that could offer what I'm looking for?

Thanks.

These guys run trips to the Caribbean while equipped to do what you ask, and more.

I know I just got back from Roatan and was talking to Bay Island Diver at Coconut Tree Divers about doing a tec course from them. They seem to have all of the gear you are looking for for those classes.

Deep Blue Divers over on Utila looks to have a similar setup.

When we were in Bonaire, Divi Flamingo offered some of those classes/gear too.
