If you are associated with an "alternative" diving certification organization let’s hear your experiences. Do you teach for another group, are you a dive master for something that is not "mainstream," and just for fun, let’s invite SSI in to throw in their 2 shillings - let’s call them "Kraken-Lite." You know, there are a lot of people out there who do not know that CMAS has something like 100 different affiliated organizations and their countries are just fine with them teaching diving and conducting diving operations. Also, there are a lot of folks who have been diving for years and still have never even heard of the BSAC. So jump on in, share your thoughts, and tell us about your experience learning, diving or teaching with "the other guys," whoever they were. Please don’t troll in by jumping in with how nobody else should be teaching diving because your diving agency has all the tools, all the market, etc. Please look at the title of the forum and post accordingly, thank you.

Are you talking about smaller, lesser known organizations? Not PADI or NAUI?

Exactly, there are lots. I wanted to see if any of their members were members of dive buddy.

I ran some queries against our database a few months ago to determine the market share of scuba training agencies, here are my results: divebuddy.com/blog.aspx?BlogID=11295&MemID=1
