| Worth remembering that BSAC divers can't crossover to PADI as instructors. They have to do the IDC/IE irrespective of other (non PADI) qualifications. PADI instructor crossing to BSAC has only to do the IFC then 12 hrs teaching under supervision (as I recall) to get to instructor. God knows how much doing both from scratch could cost but from a time and economics perspective if you wanted the pair then it makes sense to do PADI first. |
