Interesting that so far they've managed to pick two non-tech resorts to host the events. Esp. Ocean Encounters - about the least tech friendly site on Curacao. They don't even allow solo diving - with a solo card. And don't list any tech diving on their website. Mayan Divers either - they're a rec. operation affiliated with the resort - they go all the way up to IDC but there's no mention of tec diving on their site either.

The tech shop (might be the only one still on Roatan) is Go Pro Caribbean - two miles away in the West End. If someone had done their homework they'd have found out that GoPro actually teaches at Anthony's Key Resort on request.

Maybe Dema will get it right with Divetech on Grand Cayman or one of the two Bonaire resorts - Buddy Dive or Habitat - both of which have tech operations on-site as well. And the gear needed.
