I am getting ready to go for my open water certification and was wondering about your experiences with the different national organizations: NAUI, PADI, SSI and others?

If you start with one organization such as NUAI and you later want to take a PADI advanced diver course in a foreign country, do they recognize each other's accreditation? For example, I'd like to get my wreck dive certification while I am on vacation. Do I need to find an instructor accredited with the same organization that gave me my initial certification?

Your advice will be appreciated.
