I am looking into specialty training, sidemount diving in this specific case. In my area (Netherlands, Belgium), I have access to SSI, TDI, and PADI courses (both 'recreational' 2-dive courses and Extended Range 4-dive courses). Is there any of these agencies that - because of their approach t this specific type of diving - I should avoid or definitely check out?
OR should I be seeking out a good instructor, whatever the agency is under which (s)he is teaching? Bear in mind that here in the Netherlands, it's not very common or easy to find informed reviews on individual trainers (of dive schools, for that matter)...
To my Dutch/Begian friends: any recommendations?
