and Humvies are on the endangered list
H2 and H3's are, for sure. H1? I doubt the military is going to drop the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) any time soon!

Let me first say that you handled yourself very well given the craziness of peoples responses (no one in particular).
What did the dive shop say when you told them?
Hopefully they won't be buying them from China:shocked2:
he said if i signed off in the lake it would only cover me ever diving in a lake.. And that it's not as easy as I think to transfer blah blah i dont remember.
hummers are cheap now.... u have to deal with green people nowadays when getting those big ole gas hogs.. consider planet earth!
In my log book I have 5 DiveLog pages and 1 Snorkeling DiveLog page so a total of 6. But we bypassed the first page, the snorkel page, and were doing 6 dives. I kept referring my book to the other students and told them I only had 5 DiveLog pages. They all stated they had 6 DiveLog pages + the Snorkel page.
Now I got mine sent from SSI's online course package thingy. So maybe it has changed a few times and the online course still only requires 5?
From my recollection though a total of 5 dives are all that is required. SO IM TOTALLY Confused.
I did bring this up to them, and they said 'THEY' require the 6 dives. I asked others if that could be possible for them to be able to do a deviation from the SSI schedule of dives, I never really got a answer other than 'they are doing it' pretty much.
Since many of the more experienced divers on SB feel that 4 dives aren't normally enough to turn out competent, independent divers in our area, I'd personally be glad that the shop was adding two extra dives (not that you benefited, but generally). OTOH, since several of these dives were 'fun' dives, you'd really only get one extra to work on skills.
My OW cert pre-dated online course work, and the SSI dive log was divided into Level 1 (dives 1-5), Level 2 (6-12) etc., each Level separated by a divider and having a differently colored border to the pages. It appears that either SSI has changed their format, or else the shop is using their own log pages to match their program.
[More] I've just checked SSI's website, and they do say OW certs require 6 pool/confined water dives, and 4 OW, so the shop must have been using their own stricter criteria for our local conditions.
In any case, good luck to you.

That is false information, and he knows it. Lots people get certified in lakes and quarries. Look how many people get certified in Tahoe. Once you are certified you can dive in the ocean or a lake, as you are open water certified.
Hey I resemble that remark My Prius says so too. Even my signature eludes to it.
