At this stage of the game is isn't about the agency so much as the people who are going to train you. Shop around with the other two SSI shops in town. Then keep shopping for training until you know it just feels right. Tell them you already have your own gear and are just looking to get trained. A smart shop owner will know your affiliation will pay off in the long run with dive trips and upgrades as your experience grows.
