PADI vs NAUI

[diver12345]

I prefer NAUI. Their encouragement to teach beyond the standards and educate their diver to the "why" of things not just the how. Their Master diver and leaadership classes are superior.Knowledge based as opposed to specialty based. However a great instructor is priceless no matter which agency you end up with. Ask lots of questions to your inst. If he or she seams irritated then go on to the next. Lastly you can get it all ,as long as you, Put Another Dollar In.PADI

I got my OW through SSI. I liked the course and instructors that I had. But I'm probably going to take the rest of my certifications through Padi because of convienience
