I took an SSI dive certification course through Bamboo Reef in SF about 3 years ago. My course instructor was this huge, hilarious irishman named Paddy. The course was thorough and Paddy was an excellent instructor. I then went on a solo trip to Mexico 3 months later and dove almost every day for 2 weeks with great confidence (I went to Mexico alone; I didn't dive alone). I don't know if he's still teaching there, but Bamboo Reef is located at 4th St. and Brannan. Their URL is http://www.bambooreef.com/ and they were really nice folks.
