PADI, NAUI, SSI, or SDI?

SSI and PADI are both for-profit. NAUI isn’t. Criticizim I’ve heard about PADI (from NAUI folks) is that they push courses, up through Instructor or whatever they top out at. They are all recognized equally though so I’d go with whatever the instructor you like teaches.

Oh I totally misread that haha!

Does it matter? Shop I liked when I first learned was a NAUI shop, so I licensed with NAUI. Now that I’ve relocated, if a want to do other certs, and I find a shop I like that’s not NAUI, then that’s fine too.

SSI like Accenture says it just was what was offered. Was open to all

My shop does SSI and PADI. They recommend SSI through because it’s cheaper and has a better mobile platform.
