Did you start wearing a scuba tank because it went very well or because it went very badly?

My ex-wife learned how to swim because she wanted to take up scuba diving ... and she could not even begin the class until she could swim 200 yards.
Nowadays she's doing more swimming than scuba diving ... she just this past Saturday completed her first triathlon ...

I spolke to a guy at a LDS requesting info on the SSI Solo diver course and I think he had something like 42 different C-cards, but I still wouldnt consider him a "card collector"..
He was certified to IDC staff with PADI and was (atleast and possibly beyond) instructor certified for SSI/TDI, CMAS, NAUI and pretty much whatever other agency you can find.
I guess he might be my choice of instructor for the Solo Diver course, not because he has a huge stack of cards, but because he asked all the questions I had satisfactory and he asked some rather awkward questions that I had to really think to find the answers for..

Bob's hit the nail on the head:
A diver gets the cards in order to dive.
A card collector dives in order to get the the cards.
