PADI Divemaster - all of my training for recreational diving was through PADI. I will continue with PADI to obtain my Master Diver rating and gain more experience. Should I decide to move outside the boundries of recreational diving there a several agencies I would take a look at. I don't think it's so much the agency that trains the better divers it's the individual. You only get out of it what you put into it. Continuing education is the key IMO.

I will be OW certified in two weeks by Stan Hormell my instructor who happens to be a PADI INSTRUCTOR and a hell of a guy not to mention a great instructor.!!
Gas?
Nitrus Oxide? (Wheeeee!!) =-)

I mostly have PADI certs... A few TDI (nitrox, adv. nitrox & deco)
Recently got SDI divemaster and only need a few minutes pool time to do the 400M swim to complete PADI divemaster (not as easy to get pool time as one might think due to my very odd schedule...).

With that certification, what kind of gas are you qualified to use in the truck?

NAUI, but I will dive with almost anyone that has been trained and will dive safely.
While there are more than a few agencies to choose from these days, I must admit to starting with PADI years ago (25 but who's counting), trying several others since (TDI, SSI and NAUI), and I now find myself back with PADI doing the DSAT course. Who would have thought?
