SSI and SDI requires a dive shop affiliation
LOL. I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV... May I offer some medical advice or perform that surgery for you?
I'm not currently a SDI instructor, but I am fairly certain that they don't require dive shop affiliation.
For SDI, DMs do not have to affiliate with a shop but instructors do. I believe. For now.

As far as I know, PADI is the only agency that enables truly independent instructors.
That said, most agencies have a 'regional office', through which an independent instructor can arrange to process their certifications, order materials etc etc...
Including RAID? I"ll be talking to them at DEMA as well.
