I wish my nitrox card was yellow and green

[koozemani]

Certificates (and the wonderful little badges ) usually come with the C- Card through the post

"We don't need no stinkin' badges"

I wish my nitrox card was also a licence to kill.
Just sayin...

Mine is...you should have gone with a more modern certification agency

Number of cards shown is usually inversely proportional to the quality of the diver.
Certificates are the same.

^ Fact!

From the PADI Enriched Air Diving manual (imperial) v 3.02 Rev 5/07:
Page 13: "... you'll learn to used enriched air with 22% to 40% oxygen."

See also the sidebar on page 16: "In the PADI Enriched Air Diver course, you'll dive with blends that contain up to 40% oxygen ...".
That also has some discussion of other blends for other purposes than "recreational"

I'm just quoting the manual, not representing PADI, or attempting to rationalize the limit.
But it seems they've laid the groundwork for a 40% limit on your Nitrox C card not being a surprise.

I dunno.. My manual is from 2009 and I cant find it stated anywhere. The oxygen exposure table, EAD table, and enriched air RDP study guide has a chapter on "using blends with 40-60% oxygen"

With all due respect, are you saying that certifications are of no value? I am a relatively new diver. Should I not do cavern, rescue, or O2 certs? What's the alternative, diving without any training?

Speaking only for myself, the ones you mentioned, especially cave, are worthwhile...and necessary. I am specifically refering to the " cert card collectors"...if you're too new to know the ones I'm refering to....you will.

I believe he's referring to the BS certs like "boat diver" "wreck diver" "diving on a school night diver" and so on.

[martinskarin]

I want that "200+ feet solo bouncy dive on a way to small tank with no back up" - card, this exercise seemes to have been very popular during the last decades, must be several agencies providing it.

I guess the front would have a picture of a skull and a cross with R.I.P on it...

I want a nitrox card that's split down the middle. Then I'll wear it on my forehead.
