C-Card Traditions --> what are yours?

[shugar]

Just wondering what you guys had to "go through" when you got your plastic C-Card? Diving is a social recreation (it's not a "sport" my instructor used to say, so relax)... and divers always find some reason or another to get together.

Distributing plastic c-cards is one reason (excuse) to have some sort of tradition...

In my dive "school" you had to get your c-card from a large container of beer with your mouth (ranging from a 2-bottle big glass to a pitcher... depending what's available)... if you fail to get it or have to stop drinking the container was filled again until it's consumed "Straight" and the card has been retrieved...

needless to say this is a very boistrous affair with a lot of encouragement especially from more senior divers...

Why would a dive instructor encourage drinking? What if the new divers is a recovering alcoholic? Sounds like a sick system.

My Instructor just handed it over to me one night of drinking with some divemasters at Boozestop. Good thing, they didn't make me do the Beer Bong just to get it. . . daym, ill never do that bong again.

Ripped open the envelope from the mailbox and got a nice paper cut in the process!

It was brutal!

I went into the shop and was told to go look at the back page of my student folder. I opened the drawer, found my folder then removed the card that was taped there. I then put it in my wallet. I've done this ritual about 4 times now.
