NAUI vs. PADI class guidelines.
At the risk of starting up the flame fest again.
I have heard that PADI allows the instructor more le-way when setting up a class, how to cover the material, and allows the instructor to add material as he sees fit. The end goal is simply to pass the test.
I have also heard that NAUI is extremely strict on how their course is to be run, the order things are taught, and that no changing the course is allowed. The end goal here is that the course is as important as passing the test. I have also heard that NAUI has a more legally defensible curriculum should something go wrong.
As I am looking to begin my dive master certification, and with instructor quality considered separately, does anyone have any solid information comparing these two organizations?
Please do not drag other agencies into this debate right now.
