Hi. My husband and I will be at Beaches Turks and Caicos in two weeks. From what I've read, the policy there is if you haven't dived for a year or so, you can't dive unless you've done a pool skills test, which usually pushes you back a day or even two (since we arrive late afternoon, we'd likely miss the first day's test). Since we're only there for four full days, this is a concern to get as much diving as possible.
However, I've read that if you have dived within the last three months, this requirement is waived. So, if we booked a dive with an outside operator the morning after we arrive, I'm assuming we'd be cleared to return to Beaches and also dive the very next day? Has anyone been there recently or have any thoughts on whether this is a reasonable plan? (I've heard the outside operators are better, anyway, so we're willing to pay a little extra for that experience.)
Thanks!
