Any Reason to Stay NAUI?

[Learner Diver]

NAUI Advanced is a very different program than either PADI or SSI AOW. More comprehensive, more detailed, more coverage, more dives, more expensive.

Are the results the same?

For a good student and instructor, yes, For a poor student or a poor instructor, not likely.
Why do you even ask?

I visited the NAUI shop. The Robin chick I talked to on the phone a couple times wasnt there. The guy there seemed pretty good and was one of the instructors. He had me try on some 7mm wetsuits so I can get read for Ohio quarry diving.

Overall a good shop. Im not ready for AOW yet(IMO) but I have been to numerous shops and met some good people. Im trying to determine which instructors seem the best.

Im curious also. I am trying to figure out my best path to AOW. So far NAUI, SSI and PADI instructors seem great. This is based purely on my AO.
