Club Med's boats are berthed at Riding Rock'sx marina. When we were in San Sal, several American guests at Club Med were diving with us daily at Riding Rock. The Club Med diving is designed more for European visitors. CM uses huge catamarans which carry about 40 divers each. They had blue tanks for the boys and pink tanks for the girls. Cool.

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.
