<font color='#0000FF'>Just voted on the pole by John Nortcliff on PADI vs BSAC - now as far as I am concerned we are all singing off pretty much the same song sheet, and I am far more inclined to look at a divers competancy in the water and experience than the training agency that taught them.
What does p**s me off tho' (and I am sure I will be slated for this comment) is when we have a diving 'incident' and people say:
'that doesn't or wouldn't happen to a BSAC diver as they get taught rescue skills from the off instead of doing the PADI route of paying shed loads of cash to get any type of Rescue training.'
Sorry for the contraversy peeps but I am sure many agree even if they don't say so in public.
