I agree, no bad choices that I am aware of. Blue Water Divers is a very good operation, and if Abi is willing to complete your certification, she will wear you out, but you will know you have been thoroughly trained. Sail Caribbean Divers actually has a dive shop on Cooper Island, and they are certainly a well established operation. Of course Casey and Jeff at Dive BVI are also up to the task and operate in the area. Our crew aboard 'AS YOU WISH', a Voyage 48, will be diving during December 8th - 17th. If you see us, give us a shout.

We always told out guests to get the diving done before the trip. The referral dives really aren't that fun due to working on skills. So it that is done prior to the trip you get some real diving done. I would set it up in advance.
I'm guessing that since you are from Toronto, getting the water part done is not an option, buzz down to Florida and finish it.

We did this some years ago with Sail Caribbean Divers, dove with them a whole bunch since them and have always had a good experience. I don't know if Dale is still around, but he was great!

I would definitely recommend booking ahead of your trip. Spaces fill quickly during the December time periods, and we wouldn't want you to miss out on some great BVI diving. Most of the dive sites here are shallow, less than 60 ft, so you'll get to see a lot of great things during your Checkout dives. Please be sure to bring a copy of your Training Records, dive logs, and Medical Statement with you to help the process go smoother. We have some fantastic dive ops here, and they'll all take good care of you!

Our checkout dive was at the HMS Rhone, not a bad way to start a diving career.
