Aldo,
Sorry to hear about your bad experience getting certified. But realize it 
isn't the training agency that made the mistakes during your course. It was 
the instructor. Every agency has poor instructors, just ask the guys on this 
list, I am sure they can name a lot of them for you.

My suggestion for continuing your diving education, don't worry so much about 
the agency, worry about how good the instructor is. Get referrals from the 
store or instructor of past students. Give them a call and ask them about his 
quality of instruction. If they refuse to give you the referrals, move on to 
someone else.

Remember, the training agencies turn out lots of instructors, unfortunately, 
there are a few bad ones. Don't let your experience sour you on diving! It is 
a great sport with lots of cool people!

Take care,
Gene Battaglia
