I think that you need a real instructor and paying from $50 to $150 to the agency directly instead of the instructor is something to consider. Our aquatics nonprofit is putting together an open source instructional course and will enter the gang of over 50 agencies that issue scuba cards and we will create our own. Our students will take our own course. I expect to get lots of negative feedback for this. I have been a commercial diver, have taught for a few of the big guys for decades and have come to realize that it is a sport, after all. If you would like to help our nonprofits ideas they are at Home Page and we would like some contributions of public domain information about scuba so we can build a great one. I have some test creation software and a way to post material. Thanks.
