looking to start diving again and wondering if anyone has any experience of any diving clubs etc in yorkshire , near to leeds pref.
either a recommend or any to avoid
was planning on PADI cos its more universal if memory serves ?
I'm padi qualified and haven't had a problem diving at BSAC sites/boats before now.
Go for whichever is fun/convenient both will be fine.
BSAC qualification takes a lot longer than PADI, and I find them a bit...pompous tbh. They are a lot more thorough though. PADI is a lot more about getting into open water as quickly as possible, whereas BSAC the only water you'll see for the first few months is the pool.
I haven't seen BSAC insist PADI divers take a conversion course; certainly not for fun dives anyway (I'm PADI Advanced and I've dived with BSAC and SSI with no problems) or vice-versa, guess it might be different if you want to join a club though.
