I'm currently training for my Ocean Diver qualification (Open Water equivalent of PADI) with BSAC and once qualified, I'd like to do some specialist courses with PADI. Like the Rescue, Wreck Diving and Search & Recovery courses.
I have also been told to go the PADI route if I want to do Instructor training as PADI are more in-depth, their courses are more in-depth and obviously pushed globally.
Does anybody know if I will have to pay and complete the PADI Open Water course in order to "pre-qualify" for these courses or will PADI accept my BSAC qualification and allow me to pay for the courses I want to do?
