This wasn't what I said. What I said was that clubs can put pressure on their members to dive the way the club officials prefer to dive and that officials can often be narrow minded. > ...

I didn't say that BSAC insurance covered you or your equipment. I said BSAC insurance was 3rd party and, contrary to your statement above, you should be covered for 3rd party incidents inside the tables on air. The scrapping-club-insurance debate was not, as you suggest, because "nothing ever happens to us". It was over freedom of choice and the fact that many personal policies carry 3rd party cover anyway and that people objected to paying twice. However, you should note that on the proposal form for any personal or equipment insurance you are asked which clubs/agencies you dive with. If you put BSAC on the form and you have to make a claim, the insurance company could refuse to pay out if it discovers that you were not diving within the guidelines/recommendations of BSAC.
