What Agency Certified You?

[Doc]

I know I post alot of polls for no apparent reason and i dont know why I do it.

Maybe it's because you're Pole-ish.:idea:

I was thinking an interesting poll would be what sign everyone is? I especially would like to see if there are more water signs who dive.

Cancer.

What the hell is CSMA? Frankie...

And IANTD

And NACD and NSS-CDS and DSAT and UTD and TDI...

SEI (not on the poll)

Me too. I got certified by padi and naui. But that is why the question says most recent certfication.

But you don't see "most recent certification" until after you view the results, and only if you look closer past the title question "What agency certified you?"

I started with NASDS, basic through instructor trainer. Then added SSI. ANDI for first nitrox course. Then TDI & finally SDI. PFI for freediving.

My last was from GUE.

I've done training through SSI, DAN, TDI and BSAC. Latest is BSAC though.

Even if the poll were limited to only those agencies that provide initial training in the US, you’d need about 20 choices:

ACUC
ANDI
BSAC
CMAS
GUE
HSA
IAHD
IANTD
IDEA
ISEA (past)
LACUIA
MDEA
NASE
NAUI
PADI
PDIC
PSAI
SDI
SEI
SSI
UTD
YMCA (past)

Of these, PDIC is probably the largest not included in the poll (CSMA was obviously a typo for CMAS).

Make it worldwide and it’s about 50 independent agencies. Then add another 15 for tech diving.
