First off, thank you to everyone on this board! Been lurking around for several weeks now. This forum has been, and continues to be, a wealth of information for people like myself who are brand new to the sport of diving. I have learned so much but have a long way to go.
That being said, my wife, son and I just completed out PADI Open Water certifications this past weekend! So excited after many, many years of wanting to do this. My question though is, how long does it normally take to get your temporary card so that you can go diving? Our instructor said that he would process everything Sunday night and we would get an email almost immediately. I have texted him about it and he said he is checking into it. Not sure what all is involved with processing the paperwork. Was hoping to get a couple of dives in this weekend to practice our new skills but not sure we are going to be able to. Didn't want to bug him but at the same time, we spent a lot of money on this and everybody wants to "blow bubbles!"
Thanks!
