I would say the answer to your question is going to greatly depend on where you are located and the type of diving your going to see yourself instructor. I would start by looking locally and training somewhere that you can build a long term relationship with. Becoming an instructor involves a mentor program where you work with a Instructor to train students. Additionally it is also a very time consuming process becoming a PADI instructor is not a process you can do in a couple of weeks.

By working with a local location you will build a relationship that will allow you to possible instructor for them in the future.

If you do not want to do something local and have a good deal of time on your hands. I would suggest Sea Saba located on Saba Island in the Dutch Car. Talk to Lynn.

A good time to go down there is during the month of oct as they are running Sea and Learn during the entire month.

It's really entirely dependent on where you are located, or where you are travelling.

You can almost always find a good shop/instructor if you look around a bit.
