PADI
Pros:
Largest diving training agency in the world
Most widely recognised dive certification
Well constructed training materials
Gets you in the water from day one
Caters for pretty much all recreational diving needs
Excellent safety record
Cons:
Not cheap
Very 'American' in its philosophy
Remote administration of dive centres can allow for differing training standards
That should start you off - can't comment about BSAC as I know little about them |
