I agree but today you have to CYA on everything because we live in a sue happy world and people are just walking around looking for someone to sue so they don’t have to work anymore. As for the diffirent agencies you should go with the one that teaches you right, and safely. I am biased because I trained under NAUI and I love it. I am very happy with the level of my training and what I learned under their instructors. There were no short cuts taken and everything was taught and demonstrated. I love NAUI, and if you train under something diffirent that’s okay the main thing I do when I’m diving with a new person is one make sure they are certified with an agency I then go over hand signals talk about our dive plan and then check out their equiptment and then have them check out mine so we both know where backup regulator is inflate deflate of each others BCs and where we are wearing weights at and how to drop them. My primary goal is to go home to my family when I’m done. I do it the right way and I have no tolerance for show off Johnny who wants to dive to 150 feet and stay there past limits. So in general do research on what organization you are thinking of getting certified and make sure you are happy with your results and that at the end if the day they have taught you to be a safe and very competent Scuba Diver. As for me I could not be happier with NAUI and do not plan on cross training over to any other organization. Be safe all.
