I'm proud of all of them... except my PADI Scuba DIver... That one I'm embarrassed by, what a colossal waste lol.
It was my first warm vacation where diving was an option. My first time with a tank on, also my first trip with my now partner of 8.5 years and I didn't want to be away from her longer than necessary (she can't dive). I knew I wanted to learn, always have but I didn't want to 'waste time and money' getting my full OW card so I paid for the Scuba Diver cert. My instructor was urging me to just do the OW but I ignored him as if he was trying to upsell me. Should have listened to him. Utter waste of money and time as the very next trip I basically repeated the whole process and got my OW.
