it's always ourselves we find in the sea - e.e. cummings
And if I may modify an aviation quote by an anonymous author: "Diving itself is not inherently dangerous, but it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect."
That's a good idea. I just checked online and PADI is charging $50 for the replacement. It seems excessive.
It would only be $50 if you wanted priority processing. $35 for the normal process.
A replacement card may be necessary under the following circumstances:
You've changed your name (include a copy of legal documentation of name change).
You are upgrading from any PADI Junior Diver certification.
You would like to replace your existing card with a Project AWARE Edition Certification Card.
Your PADI Diver certification was lost.
Your PADI Diver certification was damaged.

I got my friend to find my PADI number online- and I'll just use that in the meantime whilst I hunt for that PADI cert card. It'll probably show up sometime.
