I'm coming back to diving after time away. I'll need to get most of my own gear. I'm intrigued by the BP/W options, but, if I were to show up in Thailand or Okinawa to do a PADI Advanced Open Water or specialty course would they let me use that, or would they require that I rent a jacket/vest BC? Are there regulations about BP/W in these courses or do individual dive shops just make their own rules?
