Absolutely none. How hard is "sit in a circle and talk about our feelings." or "Watch this video and we'll discuss it". The number one failure cause is a broken VCR!
I admit that I am certified by PADI. And given the restrictions of geography, I'd do it PADI all over again. I still frequent a PADI instructor. I do not do so because of PADI, but in spite of it. It just so happens the best guy goes the PADI way. Sorry folks, you can bash the agency all you want, but I'm more interested in the quality of the instructor than a few folks bashing a successfull commercial enterprise. Yep, they're evil. So is Microsoft. Do you run Windows?
