Browsing NAUI's website, I see their take on the "X-Brand" compared to
NAUI standards. It seems that they don't like PADI, ... sorry "X-Brand"
for their unprofessionalism in divers ed. Nevertheless, PADI's divers
training is recognized for college credits and none of the others is.

If a diver "switches" to NAUI, from PADI certification, will NAUI accept
it or will they say, no, wait a minute, first you will have to go
through a 'retraining' program.

I know that PADI has an agreement with CMAS in Europe regarding the
procedure of recognizing each others level of training and education. Is
there a similar standard in the United States?

Reading rec.scuba, I see quite often an intense discussion regarding the
competition of both agencies.

I like at NAUI their scope on tech diving, which for now is not a
serious consideration of PADI.

What do you guys think about all those issues and do you have experience
transferring between both organizations?

Thanks
