You are on the right track. It's a good idea to talk to and gain experience with more than one instructor and more than one dive shop.
Part of training and then logging your own recreational dives is that you will develop your own views on diving. If you only ever train with one buddy and one instructor, you will un-necessarily limit your experience with diving.
Have fun!
