After diving for now my 25th year and not ever being a card collector....I've picked up three cards this past year with cavern being my proudest....but just plopped down the $$$ for Divemaster. Let the fun begin, Crew-Pak in hand, gotta finish up rescue, class on Tuesday night, sit in for a self refresher EFR on Weds night and a discover class on Thursday...let the fun begin!!! OH, I thought PADI meant put another $$ in before.......
