Keeping tanks and gear on the boat is great if they are experienced, confident divers who are comfortable navigating their own dive. My husband and I will do this, but only when at least one person is staying on the boat that can do a dinghy pick up if currents pick up and we can’t swim back. It has never happened for us in BVI but it could. The Rhône is a great self-led dive as well as the deeper parts of the Indians because they are easy to navigate and strong currents are rare.
If they want a guided dive, several (all?) of the dive shops will pick up directly from certain anchorages (this is called rendezvous diving.) Each shop has a list of where they’ll pick up so you might want to call, email, or check their websites.
Anegada is essentially the worst major island to dive from. I would say Bight, Cooper, and the North Sound are the best spots for pick ups. I believe there’s a shop on JVD but we’ve never used it.
