<font color='#0000FF'>Mark, this isn't actually true, know one is expected to become an instructor in order to progress their own diving skills. Club Instructor is a completely separate course, it has since changed and there are different parts to instructing some people are happy to teach in the classroom so that do that part only, some poeple want to do open water so they can.
What I have found happens is that when you join a BSAC club the training you receive is free and therefore for a lot of members becomming an instructor is a way of putting something back into the club system.
