View Full Version : wait time for ssi cards?
nikwho November 3rd, 2009, 10:19 PM what is the normal wait time for your card when a dive shop sends out for them? my old padi card is pretty tired after 11 years and i want the new SSI card for my Costa Rica trip coming up. just curious what the norm is.... thanks pond skipper November 3rd, 2009, 10:30 PM I had mine in about a week and a half, pretty snappy, I thought. pond skipper November 3rd, 2009, 10:35 PM I'm sure the time of year, LDS management, backlog for SSI card prints, and mail time all have to be taken into account. You should have a temporary card as soon as you complete your check out dives. R2K2 November 3rd, 2009, 10:46 PM Most SSI shops (At least the ones in my area) have card printers on site and print the card as soon as you meet the requirements. A lot better then waiting for the mail. nikwho November 3rd, 2009, 10:50 PM gotcha.. my lds does not have a card printer, but does not seem too busy given the time of year. week and a half seems pretty quick! i have two months after the check dives so i should be ok. worst case, my tired padi card in conjunction with my temp cards should get me by, if need be. thanks for the input! Nik tstormdiver November 4th, 2009, 02:47 AM We don't have a card printer in our shop. Our shop Processes cards within 1- 2 days of OW check- out dives, online. As soon as the card is processed, we can print out a temporary immediately, if one is needed. The cards typically arrive 7- 10 days after processing. Pesce Leone December 1st, 2009, 03:27 AM I love my new SSi OW card...it's so flashy :cool2:ù got it in under a week after having completed my OW good thing my picture came out small , it was not my best:blinking: Buzoferoz December 5th, 2009, 09:37 PM I'm teaching at the guadalajara university swimming pool were another SSI instructor named teofilo teaches too... I have to recertified at least 6 of teo's students that never received a cert card... The problem is not the SSI sistem. SSI is very serius about C-cards, the problem is instructors that no take the job seriously.:shakehead: gotcha.. my lds does not have a card printer, but does not seem too busy given the time of year. week and a half seems pretty quick! i have two months after the check dives so i should be ok. worst case, my tired padi card in conjunction with my temp cards should get me by, if need be. thanks for the input!
