What about White Stag?😁

1970s vintage

Certified in 1976.

Some agencies consider Ice diving as tech.

My 1976 PADI Basic course had exactly the same training as your NASDS Course. The only difference was that we also had to eat a raw hotdog underwater!

Sorry to hear and I’ve always enjoyed reading his posts about the early days of SCUBA. RIP.

Back in 1976 we did the same crazy pool drills as stated by the OP and I also used the same book for my BASIC Scuba course. In 1976 our PADI C-cards were laminated cardboard but they did have our photo on them.

JYC also didn’t allow BCs to be worn due how they would look on camera.

These UDS systems were really cool back in the day!

I rescued my instructor who had a cardiac event on one of my AOW dives. Would this count as an adventure dive?😁

I used a Velcro strap.

Back in the 70s all I had was a watch and depth gauge and I never had any problems.

Very impressive resume!

Would be interesting to see what the differences are between the PADI Ice Diver and Advanced Ice diver courses?

I once saw a PADI c- card for “Advanced Ice Diver”. Anyone know what advanced ice diving is?

Many feel including Naui that ice is a form of tech diving.

I did the same exercise in my BASIC class back in 1976. We also had to eat a hotdog underwater too!

Part of my Basic Scuba course in 1976, during an open water dive, the instructor would come from behind turn off our air and remove our masks at the same time. Ah, the good old days!
