In my experience, little plastic cards have had virtually no effect on my
diving history, let alone particular emblems on little plastic cards.  In
my opinion, the quality of the instructor *vastly* exceeds the
organization through which you receive your instruction.  I suggest you
stick with your present instructor and don't worry about NASDS vs NAUI vs
PADI.  The important thing is what you learn, because that's what's gonna
keep you alive.

Just my 2 cents...

Aloha,
Rich
