This one is easy.

PADI has the most structured Instructor developement program. They are just
weak in experience requirements. ANDI, at least when I took the program 5
years ago, was a joke. One classroom lecture, no dives. poof!!!!!!!!
Instructomundo you are.

Not liking their program (ANDI), I contacted IANTD (IAND at the time). I
spent a week with Billy Deans, and then another week with Tom Mount. No
comparison, IANTD is the way to go. TDI, I spent a week with Rob Palmer and
Bret Gilliam. 

Although all three (ANDI, IANTD, TDI) do not have quite as structured an
Instructor program as PADI, we must remember that when becoming a technical
Instructor, you are already a nationally recognized recreational Instructor.
So does the technical agencys have to be as formal in training as PADI? I
don't know.

Raimo.
