Was wondering why SSI...

[Spencermm]

didn't have a presence, to speak of, on this board. I was beginning to feel a little self conscious about it, since seemingly everyone else is PADI or NAUI.
I certified last year in SSI. I later learned that the LDS and chief instructor have the ability to certify in multiple agencies. Was curious, but have not yet asked, why my class was SSI, as opposed to the others agencies.
At any rate, glad you are represented now.

NAUI and PADI are big in my area too, but I am very satisfied with my SSI cert. Also glad to see SSI make their presence known here!!!

Does it REALLY matter what national O/W agency you are certified from, so long as your instruction was quality and you had fun and learned safe diving practices? PADI....SSI....NAUI....SDI who cares, we are all divers!

No difference at all! I noticed you are from DFW. Ever come to Arkansas and dive at Lake Ouachita? We get a lot of Texas folks up here! Last year the DIVING ARMADILLO'S came and spent several days camping and diving. I believe they have members in Dallas and around Ft. Worth...

Dave..... that is one wonderful spot to hang-out and dive...a real treat! Yes lots of Texas divers sneak over the border and dive Quachita and a few even hit DeGray. Lots of great lakes in Arkansas for diving.
