PADI or SSI. Does it matter which one I decide to go with? If you have an opinion, can you give me concretes facts as to why one is a better choice than another?
Thank you.

IMO, Like Chilly said its more the instructor than the agency. I feel the opposite of tursiops no offense I like ssi e learning, your fingertip information and updates. My PADI books are the same they was in 1993 and I maybe able to find them but my SSI stuff is in my hand and was updated today. But the questions tursiops stated are very important.I would like to be the first of no doubt many that will state it’s the instructor, and not the agency you should be shopping for. I recommend speaking to veteran divers in your area on their thoughts on local instructors.

They, too, have eLearning.My PADI books are the same they was in 1993 and I maybe able to find them but my SSI stuff is in my hand and was updated today.
