I do work at Ocean. I moved there from a school inTexas because a couple of friends worked there and after talking to Pam on the phone I was sold. All the instructors at cloud 9 are good people(many of us trained at the same place - Bristow Academy) and there's no animosity between us. We share the same air and move over for each other when any of us ask!
Visit both schools and make your own decision - if you're gonna spend all that money on a licence then $1000 to come and check out the prospective schools is a good investment!
