Three instructors and their students are on board a dive boat

instructor, and an SSI instructor. Everything is going fine until
the boat springs a leak and starts to sink. The SSI instructor
says to his students, "Okay, we're in the middle of the ocean,
so we might as well do our deep dive." The NAUI instructor
says to his students, "Okay, we might as well do our
navigation dive, so let's get our compasses out and swim
towards shore." The PADI instructor says to his
students, "Okay, for $25 extra you guys get to do a wreck
dive!"
[Don't hate me, I'm PADI certified but still thought it was funny]

Heh, yeah ok I laughed too.

I have an OW thru NAUI and AOW thru PADI, Both organizations to a fine job of getting divers prepared to dive with safety as the divers primary focus. I also feel that an instructor can make a world of difference when a new diver gets in the water for the very first time.
