Hello,

I'm off to Mallorca in September this year and I'm keen to complete my PADI Rescue Diver course, so that when I come back to the UK I can match it across to BSAC Sports Diver.

I'm staying in Palma, does anyone recommend any particular centres? Price isn't the be all and end all - happy to pay a bit extra for a) top drawer fun dives for missus and b) high standard of instruction for me.

Thanks!

Taita, sorry to be useless but I would suggest you do the BSAC rescue course, as I recall the PADI one is mostly theory now. I think BSAC do lifts but cannot remember.

Just go and dive enjoy it and get more dives. Try big blue diving,

I've heard positive things about the PADI rescue course but having moved over from PADI this year and completed Sports Diver, I'd say it's well worth doing the BSAC course in full - it covers lots that isn't within the PADI courses - basic deco and DSMBs (you might already have the PADI spec.) being two elements which spring to mind as I sit typing this.

Aiming to embark on advanced deco and then onto mixed gas next.
