if I remember right my first cert number with nasds was my social security number....how smart was that to be giving out to dive shops? haha

squidster: Yep, still some around. I was certified NASDS in 1971 @ San Diego Divers Supply, home of the NASDS "College". Took rescue courses etc while in SD. When I moved to the LA area I hooked up with Dive N Surf and Sea d Sea in Redondo Beach and took night dive, compass classes etc. Lot's of fun. Good instruction.

Was certified by ScubaTech in West Covina CA, an NASDS center in 1971. Just got recertified (Padi) last October. After 30 years not diving, I didn't think a refresher would have done it.

Have the same card from 89 in NJ... but enough cracks and bubbles on the microfiche to be totally useless
