I also agree with this, strongly. All instructors are NOT created equally.
I'd give a nod to Kevin Metz of Underwater Explorers in Boynton Beach, FL (a bit North of Fort Lauderdale) https://securec7.ezhostingserver.com/diveboyntonbeach-com/indexs.cfm
He will take the time to teach you correctly so that you will be a safe and competent diver.
+1 for Kevin Metz, he turns out solid divers and everyone I've talked to that has trained with him loved the course.
