| The way I did it, did an intro weekend thingie over here then went to Florida and essentially did the NACD full cave twice, I did the course one to one with Shelley Orlowski and then repeated the diving bit on a group course she was running the following week. Hardest two weeks diving I've ever done, we did something like seven 40-60min dives in one day.
I'd agree with Malcolm about the instructor mattering more than the cert. Once you get beyond equipment, there isn't much argument about technique and procedure between the various camps, I'd bet a GUE cave course isn't that much different from NACD or NSSCDS or whatever apart from maybe the admin side.
