I have taken the SSI nitrox course, and i think it was pretty good. I liked my instructors and felt they did a good job. I can't compare it the other agencies, though.
I have one one gripe with the SSI book - it's a little 'fluffy', if that makes any sense. it has all of these little puffer fish and starfish, and a cartoon picture of a clam for 'important points to review'. in my humble opinion, the graphic layout is a bit silly, and the beginning of the book also feels a bit like a sales pitch for more SSI classes. we did not do any dives. we did, however, analyze the gas in a cylinder with the shop's equipment.
interestingly, the SSI stress & rescue coursework (which i'm currently taking) does not have the fluffy fish and cartoons in the book (quite a relief!)
