| Alex, as has been said, there is no reason you can't dive with others outside of your club. I dive with people inside and outside my club, as do a number of members of my club.
Another thought for you as well...
you said you wanted to do your BSAC combined Nitrox, you also said you wanted to do TDI Adv. Nitrox and Deco Proc. Well, once you have your BSAC advanced Nitrox, you will have the prerequisite for doing the BSAC Extended Range course, which gives you near enough the same 'limits' as the TDI combination.
