Hi John,
You will probably get loads of replies to this question so I am glad I got in first!!!
The basic nitrox course is probably the best course you will ever do and totally worth the money. As for the revelent agency to do it with "you pays yer money and take yer chance"
Both Fee and I did ours through PADI and thought it was great, we consequently went on and did the TDI Advanced nitrox and thought their training manual was a pile of shit. As with all PADI course the manual is very user friendly, full of nice pics and the relevent info is placed in nice bite sized chunks. Now the guy we did our course through (Barry Trickett down in Poole - bit of a plug for him) could also teach the TDI basic and advanced courses and felt that the PADI one was better. Also when we did do the TDI advanced course we both felt we learnt very little extra apart from good quality dive planning.
Some people will say TDI or IANTD are the only way to go but I got in first so there :soapbox:
But to honest which ever you do you won't regret it. Hope you have a great holiday.
