Max depths for various qualifications
Only having trained with BSAC so far I know this much about how deep you are certified to go:-

Ocean Diver 20m
Sports Diver 20m - 35m
Dive Leader - up to 50m

Can anyone tell me what depths other qualifications will certify you to? Starting from the shallowest and going up for other well known training agencies?

Thanks in advance.

Eh? What really? You would be in the sh1t though if you had a mishap and you were deeper than you were trained for wouldn't you? Genuine question as I don't know.

Is it like where the NHS refuse some treatements for smokers, would they not make you pay to get unbent if you were doing something you weren't trained for? Or is that just abroad where insurance only covers you if you behave?

I also like the idea of training with lots of different agencies.
I started with my uni club after a cross over from PADI and like you outgrew them. If your talking of taking courses like this you will too. If your at that stage move on to a club that accommodates your needs, then outgrow that!

There's no law saying you need training. And you'd get NHS treatment no matter what.
On the other hand, common sense and insurance are worth thinking about.

I don't think I'm anywhere near outgrowing my club for a while yet - I'm just forward planning.
