    PADI cert #s

    I was checking my logbook and found one of my dive buddies that I dove with a lot never entered his cert number. Is there anywhy to look it up? I have emailed him but he's playing in the sand box doing some real covert kinda stuff and emails only get answered once in a while.
    I don't know where I'm going but I"m having a great time getting there

    If you are a PADI pro, you have his name (as it appears on his card) and birth date it could be looked up in PADI'S Dive Chek

    Why do you want his cert number? Just because?

    Unless he's an instructor who gave you a class his cert number is not necessary. Nor is a signature.

    Yes, as the others have said, the cert number is not really required, but it is nice to be complete.

    I love it when the fate of the free world is seen as what it really is, the growns with too much power playing games they should have grown out of in childhood.

    (thinks to self: Should apologize for political commentary this early in the morning)

    Back to the thread,

    If you can PM me his full name with middle initial and DOB, I can do a dive check for you.
