Dive History:

First certified in 1971 with Aleutian Scuba Divers at Adak, Alaska. Next certified with PADI in Georgia in 1972 (I never got my permanent card, though.)

Certified for the third time in 1982 (NAUI - New Jersey). Did a fair amount of Atlantic diving until transferred in 1985.

Misplaced my cards after retirement until I did a "Discover Scuba" dive in August 2010 (long time off-gassing) and then going snorkeling in January 2011 and seeing all the good stuff 10 - 15 feet below me.

Found my cards and got back into diving. In less than 1 1/2 months went from refresher dive to Advanced Open Water with Nitrox. (4/10/2011)

Rescue, a few more specialties, and then Master by this summer (I hope).
