Personally, I'm impressed, at least initially, with any dive master as that person has put in a fair amount of time, effort and money to earn that title. Which agency, not so much.
As someone alluded to earlier, "dive master" sounds more impressive than "instructor." It was a couple of years before I realized instructors are top dog.
