Yep you guessed it B.S.A.C open water instructor, never been to the east, have a great time and dont forget the deco stop after a hard day at the office

Arfon

p.s but I have been to Cuba, Egypt, The canaries(all four), Malta, Turkey, Greek mainland Corfu,Rhodes,Zante,Scapa Flow oh and most of the decent sites in the U.K., only regret is I havn't been to Oban
Ahahah Arf, I like your description of the BSAC divers

But I'm not ashamed, as I am actually a trained and certified CMAS ** diving instructor, having started diving in France 23 years ago (at that time, PADI was forbidden over there !). As you might know, CMAS training is quite tough too
I have the French diving federation cert., the French state cert. (both are CMAS), and when I started working in Asia, yes, I took a crossover to PADI, as it is almost the only organisation working here. No other choices if I wanted a job. So I'm actually 3 times an instructor

Nice places you've been diving btw, I know some of them (I'm a Malta lover).
May be I'll meet you under water before I meet you on the road?
Cheers.
