I found an interesting article on the internet which was brought to my attention by a friend of mine who had been diving with Aqua Diving Tenerife. <a href="http://www.rya.org.uk/Training/News.asp?contentId=3069682" >http://www.rya.org.uk/Training/News.asp?contentId=3069682</a>
Now what we were discussing is the fact that this school is registered with BSAC but had a RYA school running from within the centre and using their facilities and their rib. They no longer advertise the fact that Aquafrolics (the other name they used) do this anymore but the fact is that standards were broken for over a long period of time. Do you think that if a school can be EXPELLED from RYA membership which is a very serious matter do you think BSAC and any other affiliating organisations should do an inspection. It seems that schools abroad are affiliated with many organisations and can be expelled from one and the other don't even take notice.
