At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself the question:

'Do I want to try and find someone to go diving with (PADI)' or 'Do I go
along to the club and meet poeple this week to find out what dives are being
arranged this weekend?'.....

You pays *your* money, you takes your choice :)  I never looked back joining
a BSAC club, having read far too many incidents relating to what I can see
as 'eager' open water PADI divers.....  I'm not saying BSAC are without
incident, but I've read far too much about PADI divers which leaves me a
little concerned regarding the duration of training.
