The point that I was making, was that the card is one thing but the training is another. The original question was is certification required to dive shallow water. I understood the word "certification" to mean trained. A Certificate is proof of that certification. Sorry for the word confusion. Besides, I don't know any dive operators at all in those areas but I might know some Operators there.Do you know any operator in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand will let you do that ie. without certification card?
Deep or shallow makes no differences.
