During our vacation to Aruba we were trying to rent gear from the local
5 or 6 dive stores. All of them had a policy of only renting equipment
if you have one of their instructors with them. In one store they rent
tanks but not BCDs. Since I have never had problems renting things from
dive stores in SoCal this surprised me. So I would like to hear from
the travel veterans: is this a typical thing for tourist locations or
is Aruba the exception ?

South Florida is a rental freindly area. You can rent anything from
most shops. I always travel with my gear so I can't comment on the
caribbean.
