might I suggest PADI qualified instruction as they are recognised world wide
they have a excelent reputation here in Australia for saftey and having
qualified to divemaster can recomend their training.
Saftey should always be your main priority when diving and while you don't
need most of the old tables etc with the advent of dive computers it is an
excelent way to learn of the forces exerted on your psub and will give you
some idea for escape when your psub doesn't want to go up.
Diving is like most high risk sports it is extreemly safe if taken seriously
with good tuition however it is very easy to muck up ones body when dealing
with rapid changes in preasure those little air pockets in your head
(sinuses and ear drums) have a tendency to pop very easily.
